Access Bank says it is cooperating with law enforcement authorities after sacking a staff member accused of secretly filming colleagues in the bank’s restrooms, reports Digital TimesNG.
In a statement signed by Access Bank’s management in response to the incident, the bank confirmed that the incident had been escalated to the appropriate authorities and that an investigation is underway.
“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.”
Access Bank urged the public to rely on updates shared through its official communication channels, emphasising that the safety, dignity, and well-being of employees and customers remain its highest priority.
The bank’s response follows viral social media reports identifying the former employee as Stephen Ifeanyichukwu Ejezie, a former quality assurance specialist at Access Bank’s contact centre in Oniru, Lagos.
Foundation For Investigative Journalism (FIJ) had reported that the sacked staff was caught in the female restroom around 1:30am last Wednesday, after secretly recording hundreds of video clips of colleagues.
Access Bank thanked stakeholders for their concern and support as investigations continue.
