#EndSars: Access Bank Responds to Claims of Snipers Seen on their Rooftops

There were reports on Tuesday (20/10/2020) by Arise TV, with a video purportedly shot by an eyewitness of snipers on the rooftops at Access bank headquarters and Oriental hotel. The report went further to suggest that the snipers are part of the Nigerian army, and were given access, via the lift systems, to the company’s head office tower.

The bank has come out to debunk the story in a tweet on Wednesday (21/10/2020). See statement below.

“We wish to address the statement by Arise TV alleging that military snipers were allowed access to our head office tower for operations at the Lekki Toll Gate area. This is absolutely untrue. The video shared on Arise TV featured an employee of the bank conducting routine maintenance at the tower location. It is unfortunate that this was reported as a sniper without any proof. As a corporate citizen with the purpose of impacting lives positively, we will never endanger the lives of Nigerians”.

We shall continue monitoring the situation, and provide any information that may have an impact on your career decisions. Please continue to stay safe.
