Access Bank has confirmed it is working closely with law enforcement following the dismissal of an employee accused of secretly recording colleagues in the bank’s restrooms.
In a statement signed by the bank’s management, Access Bank said the case has been reported to the relevant authorities and investigations are currently ongoing.
“We uphold a zero-tolerance policy towards harassment and any form of privacy violation,” the statement read.
“We are fully cooperating with the authorities and engaging with affected employees to provide all necessary support.”
The bank also urged the public to trust only information released through its official communication channels, stressing that the safety, dignity, and well-being of both employees and customers are its top priorities.
The bank’s response comes after reports circulated widely on social media, identifying the former staff member as Stephen Ifeanyichukwu Ejezie, who previously worked as a quality assurance specialist at Access Bank’s contact centre in Oniru, Lagos.
Ejezie was allegedly apprehended in the female restroom around 1:30am on Wednesday, accused of secretly filming hundreds of video clips of his colleagues.
While his employment has been terminated, some affected employees have voiced concerns about the prospects of receiving justice.
Access Bank expressed appreciation to stakeholders for their support and concern as investigations continue.
