Access Bank has reacted to reports that Military Snipers were allowed access to its Head Office Tower for operations at the Lekki Toll Gate area.

Access Bank in a statement on Wednesday morning.

“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.
