Nigerian authorities have started prosecuting stores and companies allegedly taking advantage of the coronavirus situation to stash critical

In Abuja, the Nigerian capital where the number of COVID-19 infections has risen to nearly a thousand, four popular outlets purportedly complicit in ‘price gauging’ of cleaning products such as hand sanitisers and face masks were charged on Tuesday.

The commission filed a six-count charge against the aforementioned outlets, accusing them of committing offenses breaching a myriad of the FCCPC laws. The defendants were to be arraigned Tuesday morning but their lawyer, Abubakar Muhammed, pleaded for the process to be shifted to an adjourned date because a representative of the second defendant did not appear in court.

The FCCPC had issued a memo in March warning that the inordinate practice during national public health concern violates both moral codes and extant laws.
