Léo shops closed following price regulation inspections

Authorities in Léo, Sissili province, conducted a series of unannounced inspections between September 7 and 12, 2026, to enforce regulated pricing and combat illicit commercial practices. The operation, led by the Direction régionale de l’industrie, du commerce et de l’artisanat de Nando (DRICA-NANDO), focused on consumer goods to protect local purchasing power.

During the mission, inspectors identified several instances where merchants failed to adhere to the official price structure. As a result, several shops were closed as a precautionary measure. DRICA-NANDO has urged economic actors in the region to comply with current commercial regulations to avoid further sanctions.
