Stephen Ifeanyichujwu Ejezie

Stephen Ifeanyichujwu Ejezie, a former quality assurance specialist at Access Bank’s contact centre in  Oniru, Lagos, shares an uncanny similarity with Baltasar Ebang Engonga. They are both fascinated with the number 400.

While Baltasar set the internet on fire in November 2024 with the release of over 400 women he had had intimacy with, this time Ejezie has been caught with over 400 videos of his naked colleagues he secretly recorded in the restrooms.

Ejezie was caught in the female restroom around 1:30 am Wednesday, an insider told FIJ. Though the bank ordered his arrest afterwards and his house was raided, he was later released.

However, some of the affected staff in Ejezie’s nude videos have expressed fears of getting justice since the perpetrator has been sacked and is no more in police custody.

Still, the question is: How did Ejezie secretly record the nude videos of his colleagues, especially the female ones?

According to FIJ, the workers at the contact centre, the customer service hub of Access Bank, work in shifts. So, some have to sleep at the office, clean up and take their bath there, among other things.

“Ejezie snuck into the ladies restroom. I believe he wanted to hide his camera as usual, so he noticed ladies coming and hid in one of the toilets beside the bathroom,” a source explained.

“Mind you, the men’s restroom is not too close for him to have mistakenly entered the one for women.

“He was found when a lady taking her bath noticed a phone recording her from the toilet cubicle, which is directly by the side of the bathroom. She noticed someone had closed the water closet seat and was making a video. She just saw the camera by chance.”

After the lady raised the alarm and more people asked whoever was there to open the door, he eventually did.

“That was when people saw it was Stephen. He said he didn’t know how he got to the ladies’ toilet but couldn’t explain the part of him making videos.”

Sources revealed he was arrested later that day when more video clips of male and female colleagues taking baths or naked in the restroom were found on his devices.

The police raided his house the following day, Thursday, and more than 400 different videos were found on his laptop.

However, the intriguing thing about his daredevil acts is that he sells the videos online. Some claimed he sold them to white people and Indians:

“He has an OnlyFans account he created to sell people’s nudes and videos taken unawares. They also found some he’s been selling on Telegram.”

Still, many who knew him said he cut a different picture. While describing the kind of person Ejezie seemed to be, one of them said they would never have suspected him of any wrongdoing, not in a million years.

“He was so cool and would always ask after people. That aside, he was an exceptional agent. No one would ever have thought this would come from him,” a former colleague said.

However, Ejezie’s action has put his former colleagues at the bank in a spin. Many of them are worried and panicking. They feel the bank prefers protecting its reputation over theirs.

“What happens to us if the videos he has already sold circulate online?” one of them asked.

Even a Friday morning meeting convened by management failed to ease the growing fears and concerns among workers.

“We were banned from staying over at work. Some people whose shifts end at 7:30 pm used to stay behind occasionally, but now it’s officially prohibited. They also warned that if an incident like this happens again, the person involved could spend years in jail,” a witness told FIJ.

Workers say this response has only deepened suspicions that management is attempting to sweep the scandal under the rug.

“No one really has the nerve to challenge anything,” one said.

“We are just contact staff and not really rated. Any little thing, and you get tossed in the trash.

“Some people in the videos don’t even know they are there. A lot of people are depressed just with the fear that they may be there. I feel like people have absolutely the right to know, so it doesn’t haunt them in future or when they have political careers. Because at that point, nothing can be done about it. He has over 400 videos, which is a lot.

“Many are traumatised already, and there is no support offered by the organisation.”
