House of Representatives Committee on Disabilities has summoned the management of Kentucky Fried Chicken, KFC, over allegations of discriminatory treatment towards Adebola Daniel, a person living with a disability and son of former Ogun State Governor, Gbenga Daniel.
The Chairman of the Committee, Bashiru Ayinla, announced this decision while briefing newsmen at the National Assembly Complex, Abuja, on Tuesday.
Ayinla, representing Oshodi/Isolo-1 Federal Constituency, Lagos State, vowed that the committee would ensure that any violation of the Disability Act is met with appropriate punishment under the law.
Recall that the incident in question occurred at the KFC outlet within the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, where Daniel, a wheelchair user, was reportedly denied entry with the manager allegedly stating, “No wheelchair allowed.”
