Kenneth Gbagi, the former Minister of State for Education currently nursing a governorship ambition in Delta State in 2023, has arrested and charged four members of his staff for allegedly stealing the sum of N5,000.
SaharaReporters reports that Gbagi arrested the four staff working in Signatious Hotel, Warri, Delta State last Friday after they were stripped of their clothes and photographed inside the hotel before being handed over to the police.
After the four staffers were reportedly dehumanized, they were taken to the Ebrumede Police Station to be remanded in custody.
Another staff of the hotel who commented on the incident said:
“My boss, former Minister of State for Education and owner of Signatious Hotel, Chief Kenneth Gbagi, arrested four of my colleagues working for him over the stealing of N5,000 from the hotel when actually the N5,000 was given as a gift to them by a guest because of their good behavior.”
While giving the names of his arrested colleagues as Gloria Oguzie, Victor Ephraim, Rosslyn Okiemute, and Archibong Precious, the source added:
“Before they were arrested by the police on Friday last week at the hotel, the four staff were stripped naked while they were photographed in the presence of the police. We learned that the dehumanizing treatment was instructed by our boss.”
