Lagos Chinese restaurant sealed for refusing to serve Nigerians: FCCPC closes Victoria Island's Haufei
Nigeria's Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission sealed Haufei Restaurant and Mall on Victoria Island, Lagos, accusing the Chinese eatery of refusing to serve Nigerians; staff admitted it was company policy.
Why it matters
Nigeria's Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) announced on Saturday, October 17, 2026, that it has sealed Haufei Restaurant and Mall at 33 Aboyade Close, Victoria Island, Lagos, accusing the business of declining service to Nigerians.
The official case
The FCCPC said on its official account that, based on credible intelligence and surveillance, the business declines service to Nigerians; staff admitted this was company policy, and the commission's operatives experienced the same treatment on site. Both the restaurant and mall are now closed pending further regulatory action.
Public outcry
The issue had already ignited on social media, where several Nigerians shared experiences of being refused dine-in service; one woman recorded a video saying she and her friends were asked to leave "simply because we are blacks." The PUNCH, a leading Nigerian newspaper, reported the shutdown.
