The restaurant declined the three of them service, he said.
“In fact, the chief security officer and the cashier at the restaurant admitted that it is their policy not to sell to Nigerians.” “Our law prohibits obnoxious practices. It is obviously obnoxious to discriminate. They are a range of options that regulators have, prosecution being the topmost of it depending on the full context whether it was the first time or repeat, whether there are other complex issues.
