Access Bank reacts to reports of ex-staff secretly filming female colleagues
by Adenle Ahmed Abiola · The Eagle OnlineAccess Bank says its attention has been drawn to allegations circulating on social media that a former contact centre agent secretly filmed colleagues without their consent.
In a statement released on Monday, the bank said the matter had been handed over to the appropriate authorities and that it was cooperating fully with investigations.
“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.
The Eagle Online had reported that Stephen Ifeanyichukwu Ejezie, a former Quality Assurance Specialist at Access Bank’s contact centre in Oniru, Lagos State, was accused of secretly recording his colleagues while they used the restrooms.
Sources told the Foundation For Investigative Journalism (FIJ) that Ejezie was caught in the female restroom around 1:30am on Wednesday.

It also said it was actively supporting affected employees.
“At Access Bank, we uphold a zero-tolerance policy towards harassment and any form of privacy violation.
“We are also actively engaging with the affected employees to provide all necessary support.
