Access Bank Reacts to Viral Report of Staff Filming Colleagues in Restrooms
Access Bank has confirmed the dismissal of a staff member accused of secretly recording colleagues in the bank’s restrooms. In a statement issued by its management, the bank emphasized its commitment to upholding a zero-tolerance policy toward harassment and privacy violations.
The incident, which occurred at Access Bank’s contact centre in Oniru, Lagos, has been escalated to the appropriate law enforcement agencies, and a full investigation is underway.
“We uphold a zero-tolerance policy towards harassment and any form of privacy violation,” Access Bank stated. “We are fully cooperating with the authorities and engaging with affected employees to provide all necessary support.”
The bank urged the public to rely only on information shared through its official communication channels, assuring that the safety, dignity, and well-being of its employees and customers remain its top priority.
The viral social media reports identified the dismissed employee as Stephen Ifeanyichukwu Ejezie, a former quality assurance specialist. Ejezie was allegedly caught around 1:30 a.m. on Wednesday secretly recording hundreds of video clips in the female restroom.
While his employment has been terminated, some affected employees have raised concerns about the challenges they may face in securing justice.
Access Bank expressed gratitude to stakeholders for their concern and support as investigations continue.
