His former colleagues described him as “cool” and “an exceptional agent”
“No one could have thought this would come from him”.
Stephen Ifeanyichukwu Ejezie, a former Quality Assurance Specialist at Access Bank Contact Center in Oniru, Lagos, was caught secretly recorded female colleagues in rest room around 1:30am on Wednesday April 23, 2025, insider told the Foundation for Investigative Journalism (FIJ).
Sources said Ejezie was arrested and his house raided, but he has since been released.
Although Access Bank seems to have fired him, many affected staff doubt they’ll get justice.
“Perhaps it is because we are contract staff”, one said when FIJ checked his LinkedIn on Friday morning, Ejezie still listed as Access Bank as his employer, but by afternoon, he updated it to show he no longer worked there.
He joined the Bank in February 2023 and become a Quality Assurance Specialist in October.
FIJ reports that the staff often work shifts, sleep, and bathe at the office.
A source said, “Ejezie snuck into the ladies’ rest room to hide his camera. A lady taking her bath noticed a phone recording her from the toilet cubicle”.
When the door was forced opened, Ejezie was found. “He said he didn’t know how he got there but couldn’t explain the video recording”.
Further searches revealed hundreds of videos of male and female colleagues naked or bathing. After a raid on his home, police reportedly found over 400 videos on his laptop. Sources said, “He sells them online, including on Only Fans and Telegram, mostly to white people and Indians.
Former colleagues described him as “cool” and “an exceptional agent”
“No one would ever have thought this would come from him”, One said.
Workers fear Access Bank may prioritize its brand over helping victims. “What happens If the videos he already sold circulate online?”, a worker asked. A friday meeting banning overnight stays and warning of jail terms for future incident s only deepened their fears.
“There’s no real support offered “, a source told FIJ. “Many are traumatized already. Some people don’t even know they were recorded. It could haunt them in future, even politically”.
FIJ contacted Access Bank for comment but got no response as of press time.
