Uncovered: Plot to attack, disrupt Fidelity Bank services

A plot to disrupt the services of Fidelity Bank Plc has been uncovered and those accused of planning this are some of the outsourced staff who were recently recalled by their employers.

According to a statement from the financial institution, these set of people are making underground plans to launch a massive social media attack the bank in order to malign its image before the world.

“Our attention has been drawn to the planned disruption of service and social media attacks on the Bank by a few outsourced staff who were recently recalled by their employers.

“The move, which is the handiwork of the outsourced staff who were on secondment to the Bank as Note Counters, is aimed at casting the Bank in bad light,” the statement signed by the Divisional Head of Brand and Communications at Fidelity Bank, Mr Charles Aigbe, said.

Mr Aigbe further said, “Their employers have confirmed to the bank that their recall was conducted in line with their existing contracts and according to extant labour laws.”

Continuing, he said, “As a responsible financial institution, operating in Nigeria, Fidelity Bank is guided by the laws of the land.”

“Whilst we are not against the right to lawful assembly, the planned actions directed at Fidelity Bank, by these misguided individuals, are clearly unwarranted and misdirected.

“We urge the public to disregard the falsehood and claims being circulated by them in the public domain,” the bank’s image maker stated.
