The Nigeria Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has summoned Erisco Foods Limited over the arrest of one of their customers, Chioma Blessing Edoka.
SaharaReporters earlier reported how Chioma was arrested by the company with the help of the Nigerian Police Force over her Facebook post on one of the food products manufactured by Erisco.
A long release at #Tech4Justice, operated by civic organisation, Citizens Gavel, on its verified X, Twitter page revealed more facts on the matter as it confirmed Chioma was arrested on the 24th of September, 2023.
The statement also tackled Erisco Foods Limited for bringing the police into a matter they described as a civil issue between the company and a customer.
Reacting on the matter, Babatunde Irukera, Chief Executive Officer of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission confirmed the arrest of Chioma and said that her case has been transferred to Force Headquarters, Abuja.
Irukera revealed further that Erisco Foods had been summoned by his agency.
