Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission has sealed off France, Belgium and Italy visa centres located at the Mukhtar El-Yakub House, Central Business District in Abuja.
The office was sealed on Thursday, with the combined efforts of operatives from the FCCPC, Nigerian Police Force and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps as staff of the centre resisted the sealing.
It was learnt that the Director, Surveillance and Investigations Department of FCCPC, Mrs. Boladale Adeyinka, said that the move was due to the failure of the centre to receive a letter of the Commission to investigate a consumer complaint.
Adeyinka added that the centre was also sealed due to obstruction of investigation or inquiry, and conducting services considered, upon reasonable suspicion, to be inimical to consumers’ welfare.
She mandated the company to appear before the Commission on June 20, to testify, make depositions and provide evidence in relation to failure to receive a letter from the Commission to investigate a complaint and obstruction of investigation or inquiry.
