Abuja Chinese supermarket refuses entry to Nigerians due to crime

A Chinese supermarket in Gwarinpa, Abuja has said that it refuses entry to Nigerians because of their criminal activities.

According to a Daily Trust report, Nigerians are only allowed to enter the supermarket individually and not in groups.

The supermarket’s security guard, identified simply as Maxwell, also said that only people who come with police escorts are allowed to enter in groups.

“You can only be allowed in if you are accompanied by policemen, because you are more than one” he said.

The supermarket launched the new policy in May after it was robbed of more than N2.5 million by Nigerians, an attendant, Samuel Azenda said.

Azenda also said that the robbers had injured about five staff of the facility during the attack leading some of the foreign employees to seek medical attention in China.
