In a bid to tackle the escalating prices of essential commodities, the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) conducted an enforcement raid on two supermarkets in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, on Thursday.


Led by the Executive Secretary of the Commission, Dr. Adamu Abdullahi, the operation aimed to ensure compliance with regulations on price display and quantity.


Dr. Abdullahi announced plans to extend the enforcement exercise to major cities like Lagos, Port Harcourt, Ibadan, Kano, Kaduna, and others in the coming weeks.


He emphasized the need to curb abnormal price surges, which have persisted despite recent improvements in the value of the naira.


During the raid, which lasted several hours, the FCCPC sealed a supermarket and seized 33 bags of suspected fake rice infested with weevils.
