International
retail chain SPAR has temporarily shut its branch at Ceddi Plaza in the
Central Business District of Abuja, with a notice at the entrance
attributing the closure to some technical fault in power.
However,
there are speculations that the closure may be a result of a row over
unpaid bills between the store and the management of the plaza.
A
representative of Ceddi Plaza, who asked for anonymity debunked the
rumour, saying that there wasn’t more to the closure than what the sign
on the entrance of the store says.
“What
is on the door is what it is,” she said. “They have a major electrical
problem, and once that is sorted out they will open.”
She explained that SPAR was the only store affected because it had more appliances than other stores located in the plaza.
The
Supervisor of SPAR, Mr Samson Ekenele, also denied the existence of a
disagreement with the management of Ceddi Plaza and also maintained that
the closure was due to technical issues and will probably reopen next
week.
Hundreds
of customers unaware of the situation have been turning up at the
store, only to be redirected to its branch at Aminu Kano Crescent in
Wuse 2 by a standby security officer.
