The Relationship Manager for the East Legon branch of the company, Albert Sandford Nyarko, however, told Citi News they will open for business on Tuesday, July 24, 2018.
Meanwhile, management of the company has suspended employees who were on duty when the assault occurred.
The bank has been widely condemned after a video of a police officer on duty man-handling a customer went viral.
In the video, the police officer, who was armed with an assault rifle, is seen striking the woman, who was holding her baby, multiple times on the head, first with an umbrella, and then with his fists.
