Naira Scarcity: Zenith Bank Staff Scale Fence To Escape Attack By Angry Customers
The scarcity of the Naira in Nigeria, Africa’s biggest economy, has taken a new dimension as bank customers protest alleged hoarding of notes by their banks.
A video has surfaced online capturing members of staff of Zenith Bank Plc in a branch in Delta State scaling the fence to escape attack by irate customers.
The video seen by THE WHISTLER shows over twelve members of staff of Zenith Bank who mounted a ladder at the back of the bank to escape from customers.
A staff member in the clip said they had involved the Delta Hawk Patrol team to control the situation.
But their move suggested that the patrol team was yet to arrive at the bank to calm the situation.
“You don’t need to be slow, be fast… They can’t enter,” a staff member was heard saying in the background.
When THE WHISTLER contacted the Police Public Relations Officer, Delta Command, Adafe Bright, he said the details of the incident were still unclear.
