Access Bank has officially responded to serious allegations circulating on social media, concerning a former contact centre agent accused of secretly filming female colleagues without their consent.
In a statement released on Monday, the bank confirmed that the matter has been escalated to the appropriate authorities and assured the public of its full cooperation with the ongoing investigation.
“Our attention has been drawn to reports circulating on social media regarding an alleged offence involving a former Contact Centre Agent.
The matter has been handed over to the appropriate authorities, who are conducting an investigation. We are fully cooperating with them in this process,” the statement partly read.
According to a report by Foundation for Investigative Journalism (FIJ), the former agent, identified as Stephen Ejezie, allegedly recorded over 400 videos of female colleagues, capturing them in vulnerable moments such as while changing clothes or using the restroom. FIJ alleged that Ejezie installed hidden cameras in private areas without the victims’ consent. As of the time of FIJ’s publication, Ejezie had not been charged in court despite the reported evidence.
Reaffirming its commitment to workplace safety, Access Bank emphasized its zero-tolerance policy for harassment and privacy violations.
“At Access Bank, we uphold a zero-tolerance policy towards harassment and any form of privacy violation. We are actively engaging with affected employees to provide all necessary support.
The safety, dignity, and well-being of our employees and customers remain our highest priority,” the bank stated.
The case, widely followed and reported by Hobnob News, has sparked public concern regarding workplace privacy and employee protection.
Access Bank urged the public to rely solely on official updates from its verified communication channels.
