Access Bank Nigeria Plc has denied allegations by some local media outlets that the bank aided the military onslaught of peaceful #EndSARS protesters at Lekki in Lagos State.
The bank reacting to the allegations made against it by local television channel, Arise TV, described assertions by the television station that the bank allowed military snippers access its head office tower for operations during the night of the shooting are untrue.
The bank safeguarding its reputation and dismissing the allegations tweeted saying;
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 are deeply saddened to hear about the unfortunate loss of innocent lives yesterday at the Lekki Toll. We pray that the souls of the innocent rest in peace,
the tweet further read.
