Leading financial institution Fidelity Bank has cleared the air regarding a social media video featuring an assault on two people at one of the bank’s branches in Lagos.

“The two individuals featured in the video were suspected of ‘shoulder surfing’ to steal customer card details at the ATM. The security personnel on duty interceded and they attacked and injured him before the intervention of the Mobile Policemen who are seen in the video,” Fidelity Bank’s the Divisional Head, Brand & Communications, Charles Aigbe, said in a statement issued in Lagos on Friday.

Continuing, he said: “No Fidelity Bank official ordered any violence against customers as alleged and there was no incidence of the Branch ATM not dispensing cash.

“The matter has been reported to the Police and the suspects have been handed over for prosecution.

“Fidelity Bank is customer-centric and we remain committed to providing easy and convenient banking and financial services in a safe environment for our customers and the banking public.”
