FCCPC Seals France, Belgium, Italy Visa Centers in Abuja – Thage

The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has sealed the visa demand centers for France, Belgium and Italy in Abuja, for alleged violations of consumer rights and obstruction to investigations.

Managed by the TLS contact at the Mukhtar El-Yakub House, the centers were closed after the company has not responded to a formal complaint letter issued by the FCCPC on March 25, 2025.

According to the Commission, TLS officials would have attacked FCCPC investigators and their police escorts during a follow-up visit.

As a result, the Commission declared TLS responsible for any losses suffered by Visa applicants due to the application action.

The managers of the Senior company, including the managers of the country and the centers, have been summoned to appear before the FCCPC on June 20, to testify and provide relevant documents.

The FCCPC warned that the inability to respect could entail fines up to n20 million or three years of imprisonment, or both.

He also urged the candidates affected to present evidence of a poor service and reiterated their commitment to protect Nigerian consumers from offensive service providers.
