The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), working with law enforcement, shut down the Community Crime Prevention Initiative of Nigeria (CCPIN) at No. 214 Aba-Owerri Road, Aba, Abia State, on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, for unlawful operations
Based on credible intelligence, the FCCPC cracked down on CCPIN for falsely claiming to be an authorised NGO and misleading the public as CCPIN had issued notices claiming joint surveillance operations with FCCPC and solicited complaints via unauthorized line
However, FCCPC and law enforcement officers apprehended Amb. Dr. Onwuka K. Okorie at the facility and took him into custody while they also gatherered several exhibits with FCCPC’s name, logo, and false enforcement materials, which will be used as evidence.
The Commission categorically disassociates itself from CCPIN and affirms that it neither authorises nor partners with CCPIN or any similarly styled organisation for enforcement or consumer protection operations, and does not delegate such powers to NGOs, private entities, or individuals without formal legal authorisation.
The FCCPC is committed to operating with the highest level of transparency while ensuring consumer protection and market integrity.
The public is strongly advised to disregard any announcements, sealing notices, or consumer-related campaigns issued by CCPIN or any of its representatives.
To verify any enforcement or communication, members of the public can contact the Commission through its hotlines: 08056002020 and 08056003030. Official FCCPC activities and communications can also be verified via www.fccpc.gov.ng or social media handles (@fccpcnigeria).
