Access Bank Shuts Down Branch Over Scarcity Of New Naira Notes

Access Bank has shut down some of its branches in Lagos State due to scarcity of naira notes and fear of being attacked by angry customers, Legit Naija reports.

This online news platform reports that one of its branches located in the Akowonjo area of Lagos State has been on lockdown for the past two days and counting.

When newsmen visited the branch, a security guard (name withheld) said, the bank was shut down due to lack of cash.

Legit Naija reports that some video clips on social media showed how Access Bank is been attacked by angry customers in some states due to poor network and scarcity of new naira notes.
