Content creator Becca Oluwabukola has alleged that she lost her job at a commercial bank after she was reportedly directed to resign over videos she shared on TikTok while working there.
In a TikTok video posted on Thursday, Becca claimed the bank accused her of exposing a sensitive area of its office in one of her workplace vlogs, leading to disciplinary action that ultimately ended her employment.
Although she did not disclose the name of the bank or the position she held, Becca is known on TikTok for sharing lifestyle content, including videos documenting her daily work routine.
According to her, she started creating content in 2018 and often arrived at the office early to film because she did not have a suitable recording space at home.
She recalled that in 2022, she used a trending audio about salary increments in a video recorded at work, which attracted the attention of the bank’s management.
“My branch manager called to tell me that the head office had raised concerns. I was queried because they said it violated the bank’s social media policy,” she said.
Becca said she was initially suspended but was later reinstated and confirmed as a permanent staff member. However, she claimed management continued to monitor her social media activities and issued several warnings over subsequent TikTok posts.
She alleged that the matter escalated in 2026 after she uploaded another office vlog. Despite deleting the video after being summoned, she said she later received another query accusing her of exposing a sensitive area of the bank.
Following an appearance before a disciplinary committee, where she apologised, Becca said her supervisor informed her that she had been directed to resign immediately.
“I did as instructed and even cried,” she said.
Her claims have since sparked debate on social media, with many users discussing workplace social media policies and employees’ online conduct.
The Central Bank of Nigeria’s guidelines require banks to protect confidential information, customer data and operational security. Employees are generally prohibited from sharing images or videos of restricted areas, including cash vaults, CCTV control rooms, back-office operations and internal systems, without authorisation.
The bank mentioned by Becca has not publicly responded to her allegations.
