The Association of Senior Staff of Bunks, Insurance and Financial Institutions (ASSBIFI) has asked members to stay away from work in states where bank branches were attacked.
The Association in a statement signed by the National president, Olusoji Oluwole, said the National Secretariat had been inundated with reports of threats and attacks on life and property of members and bank branches, and subsequently had been on the field to monitor and confirm the reports.
He said they issued warnings and appeals to government to provide security measure for the safety of life and property of their members in and around the bank premises, but regrettably the attacks had continued without any form of security for the safety of their members.
They cited the recent incident being the attack on Friday, 17th February 2023, on one bank branch at Epe, Lagos State.
“We cannot leave the life and property of our members exposed to Obvious danger.
“Consequently, all members should today immediately stay away from work in any state where bank branches are attacked.
“This is to continue every day until normalcy is restored.
Please note that you will be availed further directives as events develop,” Oluwole said.
