A three-months-old pregnant woman simply identified as Taiwo, who works as a cashier at the Ketu/Ikorodu branch of Access Bank, reportedly collapsed after receiving her sack letter in Lagos State.

KanyiDaily had reported that Access Bank announced plans to lay off 75% of its workers as a result of the negative impact of the Coronavirus outbreak.

Taiwo, who was one those affected by the bank’s mass retrenchment of staff, collapsed on Saturday after hearing of her dismissal, SaharaReporters has gathered.

A colleague of the lady, who collapsed, spoke with the media outlet on the phone.
