Lagos State Seals Two Access Bank Branches Over Sewage Discharge

Lagos State officials have sealed another Access Bank branch a day after officials visited the bank’s main Oniru building, where they found a faulty wastewater treatment plant and were allegedly attacked by staff while attempting to seal the premises.
