Zenith Bank, one of the largest banks in Nigeria, has temporarily closed some of its branches in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and various states due to security concerns. The bank’s staff and network have allegedly been attacked, leading to the closure of some branches. In addition to security concerns, the bank is also facing a shortage of new naira notes, which has resulted in some branches being closed.
According to an anonymous official from the bank, many of their branches across the country have been targeted by customers who are unable to withdraw the new notes from their accounts. The official reported that these attacks have resulted in staff being injured and property being damaged. In response to the attacks, staff at some branches were forced to escape by scaling fences to avoid being caught up in the violence.
The temporary closures have caused inconvenience for customers who have taken to social media to express their frustration with the situation. Some have reported being unable to access their funds or complete banking transactions. It is unclear when the branches will reopen and what measures will be put in place to ensure the safety of staff and customers.
In conclusion, the temporary closure of some of Zenith Bank’s branches due to security concerns and a shortage of new naira notes has impacted customers and raised questions about the bank’s ability to provide safe and secure banking services.
