Dr Elijah warned that any staff caught demanding gratification from customers or extorting them would be subjected to serious disciplinary action.
He directed that on no account should customers’ accounts be closed and new ones opened, stressing that any staff caught closing old accounts and opening new ones for the same customers would be severely disciplined.
