An aggrieved employee of the United Bank of Africa (UBA) Paynesville Branch, Kolee Alexander Musa, has alleged that he was on January 7, 2025 flogged on the order of Human Resource Officer Arthurline Anderson, after he refused to leave the bank premises without a written document or letter of his claimed dismissal. Molee narrated that he could not have left the bank’s premises only on verbal notes or instructions of his dismissal but needed a written document to show to his lawyer surrounding his dismissal. “I went to work on Tuesday morning by 7:30am and was later on called by the branch manager Priscilla Manson to leave the office and I asked her why and she said that the HR said I should leave and that I no longer work at the bank and I asked her to have it documented and it was at that time she (Priscilla) placed a phone call to the HR (Madam Anderson) who instructed Priscilla to call the security guys to forcibly take me from the office, ” he explained. He also narrated that he was flogged by two bank officers because he refused to leave the bank’s facility, claiming that currently, he is feeling pains on his side and head, including other parts of this body. “Following my flogging, I painfully went to the James Davis Hospital and was advised to do an x-ray on the entire part of my body at a bigger Hospital because the pain is too much, and I don’t know what next will happen to me,” he said. The aggrieved UBA employee, who termed the action as bad labor practice, also alleged that the situation at the bank is a continuous routine, but claimed that his colleagues are afraid to speak out for fear of losing their jobs. “Currently, some of my colleagues are repaying for money they did not personally take from the bank or use. This is sad and it is time for us to speak out against bad labor practices especially at banks that should be there for both employees and clients and come to think about it, if the employees are not satisfied to work at the bank, what becomes of the clients or customers?” He wondered. Even though Human Resource Officer Arthurline Anderson up to press time refused to pick her calls, both on her number as well as WhatsApp including text messages, in a leaked video conversation, she was heard loudly instructing the UBA’S Paynesville branch manager Priscilla Manson via mobile flanked by two security officers to forcibly take Kolee out of the office as the officers in the video who were later seen moving aggressively to execute the orders from the HR and UBA’S Paynesville Branch manager against the victim, after the end of the phone conversation between Priscilla Manson and Arthurline Anderson. Kolee who also admitted to authorizing the card for one of the clients via the system also challenged the bank to provide video photage to show whether the customer that came to him was a male or a female. “They said it was a male that came to me but it was a female and I insist that they show the video photage to know who is saying the truth,” he maintained. Kolee, at the same time, argued that the card platform at the bank does not have a provision to see the image and signature of a given customer. ” I also got information which I do not want to believe, but it states allegedly that the bank is going ahead of me at the Ministry of Labor in an attempt to delay and eventually silence my case, but I pray that is not the case because, the Ministry of Labor should be there for all employees and I am sure they will do the needful, in fact, I will do a formal complaint to them today,” he added. He threatened legal action against the bank and is certain that he will win the case to serve as a caveat for others who are in the habit of perpetrating bad labor practices in work places. In continuation of investigation, a phone call was placed to UBA’S Paynesville Branch Manager Priscilla Manson, who was seen in the video calling the Human Resource Officer Arthurline Anderson to give permission to her to remove Kolee Alexander Musa from the premises of the bank, but she referred the reporter to her boss, the Human Resource Officer Arthurline Anderson whom Priscilla stated knows everything about the situation and will be best suited to respond appropriately. However, Madam Anderson up to press time has refused to respond to the investigator’s calls and messages, both local and social media links respectively. Meanwhile, an anonymous source claimed that Kolee is not an employee of the Bank but the source did not show a document to justify the claim, something Kolee has since requested but to no avail. Moreover, a source linked Kolee to a transaction with two other colleagues, all females, (Fennie Nyanquor and Patience Hill) which led to huge losses in the tune of over 48,000USD.
