Aigbe wrote, "False claims stemming from video post – Our attention has been drawn to a social media video featuring an assault on two people at a Fidelity Bank branch 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."

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