Due to reported attacks on its personnel and network, Zenith Bank has shuttered some of its branches in the Federal Capital Territory, or FCT, and some states across the nation.
Some of the bank’s branches were reportedly locked on Tuesday, according to a NAN correspondent who checked on them in the FCT, its surroundings, and other states.
Both the gate and the bank’s ATM Gallery at the Zenith Bank Check-Point branch on Nyanya-Mararaba Road were shut, and no customers were visible nearby.
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.
NAN reports that some video clips on social media showed how the staff of the bank escaped from the attacked branches by scaling fences to escape mob attacks from customers.
Meanwhile, some customers of the bank have taken to social media to lament their ordeal
