Stephen Ifeanyichukwu Ejezie, a former Quality Assurance Specialist at Access Bank’s contact centre in Oniru, Lagos State, has been accused of secretly recording hundreds of video clips of his colleagues in the company’s restrooms.
According to insider sources, Ejezie was caught early Wednesday around 1:30 a.m. inside the female restroom, allegedly attempting to hide a recording device. It was reported that a female staff member, while taking her bath, noticed a phone camera positioned from an adjacent toilet cubicle, prompting her to raise the alarm. When confronted, Ejezie initially claimed he had mistakenly entered the women’s restroom but was unable to explain the recording activity.
Following the discovery, Access Bank reportedly ordered his arrest, and a police search of his home the next day uncovered over 400 illicit videos on his laptop. These videos allegedly featured both male and female staff members — many captured while bathing or undressed.
Sources claim Ejezie had been selling these recordings online, operating an OnlyFans account and selling content through Telegram channels, reportedly to international buyers including white and Indian clients.
Ejezie, who joined Access Bank in February 2023 as a contact centre agent and was promoted to Quality Assurance Specialist by October, appeared to have been dismissed from the company after the incident. When first checked on Friday morning, his LinkedIn profile still showed he was employed at Access Bank, but by afternoon, it had been updated to indicate he was no longer with the organisation.
Despite his arrest and the disturbing findings, Ejezie has since been released, sparking concerns among staff that Access Bank may be reluctant to pursue legal action in order to protect its corporate image. Workers at the contact centre, many of whom are contract employees, expressed fear and frustration over the bank’s handling of the situation.
“We believe the bank wants to sweep this under the rug because we’re contract staff,” one employee said.
The employees, who often work shifts requiring them to sleep and bathe at the office, now fear for their safety and privacy. Many are anxious that the videos already distributed online could surface in the future, with serious personal and professional consequences.
In response to the incident, Access Bank management has reportedly banned staff from staying overnight at the office and issued warnings that future violations could result in severe legal consequences. However, employees feel that the bank’s focus remains on damage control rather than offering support to the victims.
“Many people are already traumatised, and there’s no psychological support being offered,” another source lamented. “Some don’t even know if they were recorded. It’s terrifying.”
