Access Bank Breaks Silence on Viral Report of Staff Secretly Filming Colleagues in Restrooms

Access Bank has confirmed it is cooperating with law enforcement authorities following the dismissal of a staff member accused of secretly filming colleagues in the company’s restrooms. In a statement signed by its management, the bank said the matter had been escalated to the appropriate agencies and an investigation was 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.”

The bank urged the public to rely solely on information shared through its official communication channels, stressing that the safety, dignity, and well-being of employees and customers remains its highest priority.

The development follows widespread social media reports naming the former employee as Stephen Ifeanyichukwu Ejezie, who worked as a quality assurance specialist at Access Bank’s contact centre in Oniru, Lagos. Ejezie was allegedly caught inside a female restroom around 1:30 a.m. on Wednesday, after reportedly recording hundreds of video clips of colleagues.

Although Ejezie’s employment has since been terminated, some affected staff members have expressed concerns about their chances of obtaining justice. Access Bank thanked its stakeholders for their concern and support, assuring the public that it remains committed to ensuring a thorough investigation.
