Read Reasons why a Chinese Supermarket Bans Nigerians from entring

A Chinese supermarket situated at 9 Bauchi Street, War College Estate, Gwarinpa, has said that Nigerians are denied entry into the mall premises because of their nefarious activities.

The management however said Nigerians are allowed to enter the supermarket individually and not in group.

According to Daily Trust, the supermarket is a residential building turned supermarket and without a name with only a Chinese decoration on the gate. The newspaper reporter who also visited the supermarket was also denied entry as the gateman, simply called ‘Maxwell’ said they were more than one.


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

One of the attendants, Samuel Azenda said the supermarket reached the decision after it was robbed by Nigerians in May during which more than N2.5 million was stolen.

He said until May, the gate was always open to all and sundry. It was also gathered that the owners of the supermarket were said to have been flown to China for medical treatment as a result of the injuries sustained during the robbery.

Azenda, who was beaten during the robbery said about five personnel were beaten after a group of four armed men entered the premises in May.
