A Nigerian court has ordered the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) to seal the operations of Coscharis Motors after the company allegedly failed to comply with directives linked to the sale of a defective Range Rover vehicle to a customer.
According to TheCable, the ruling followed a legal dispute in which the customer accused the luxury automobile dealer of supplying a faulty Range Rover and failing to provide satisfactory remedies.
The court reportedly directed the FCCPC to enforce compliance by shutting down the company’s premises until the matter is resolved. The judgment is seen as another major test of consumer protection enforcement in Nigeria’s automobile sector.
The FCCPC has increasingly intensified actions against companies accused of violating consumer rights in recent years. Earlier cases involved sanctions and enforcement actions against firms in sectors including pay television and real estate.
Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission has not publicly released full details of the enforcement process at the time of reporting.
