The Association of Senior Staff of Banks, Insurance, and Financial Institutions (ASSBIFI) has directed its members in states where banks were being attacked to stay away from work.
The ASSBIFI President, Olusoji Oluwole, gave the directive via a letter to the association’s unit presidents and secretaries on Friday.
Oluwole stated that the stay-at-home order would subsist until normalcy is restored.
“The national secretariat has been inundated with reports of threats and attacks on lives and properties of members and bank branches, and subsequently has been on the field to monitor and confirm the reports.

“We cannot leave the lives and properties of our members exposed to obvious danger.
