Some branches of Zenith Bank in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, and some states of the country have been temporarily closed due to alleged attacks on its staff and network.
According to a report by News Agency of Nigeria, some of the bank’s branches in the FCT, and environs and other states on Tuesday, were under locks.
At Zenith Bank Check-Point branch along Nyanya-Mararaba Road, both the gate and the ATM Gallery of the bank were locked and no customers were seen in the vicinity.
An official of the bank who preferred anonymity said that some of the bank’s branches were also closed due to lack of the new naira notes.
The official said that many of their branches across the country were attacked by customers who were unable to withdraw the new notes from their accounts. Some Nigerians have equally taken to social media to narrate their ordeals at the hands of some commercial banks in the face of the naira scarcity.
A video that surfaced on the internet today showed how the staff of the Zenith bank escaped from the attacked branches by scaling fences to escape mob attacks from customers.
