A former Minister of State for Education, Kenneth Gbagi, who is currently nursing a governorship ambition in Delta State in 2023 on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, has arrested and charged four of his staff working in his hotel to court for allegedly stealing his N5,000.
It was reliably gathered that Gbagi last week Friday arrested the four staff working in Signatious Hotel, Warri, Delta State, after they were striped naked and photographed inside the hotel before handing them over to the police.

It was gathered that after dehumanizing the four staff, a male and three females, they were taken to the Ebrumede Police Station to be remanded in custody.

Speaking in confidence with our correspondent, a staff of the hotel revealed that his colleagues were arrested by the former minister over the alleged theft of the said amount.

He 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 behaviour."

While giving the names of the arrested colleagues as Gloria Oguzie, Victor Ephraim, Rosslyn Okiemute and Achibong Precious, the source said, "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 learnt that the dehumanising treatment was instructed by our boss."
It was further gathered that the hotel management forcefully made some withdrawals from the bank accounts of the four staff through their ATM cards before the police took them away in a waiting van.

The four staff were charged before a magistrate court sitting in Effurun after four days of detention.

In a five-count charge, the police accused the suspects of conniving among themselves to steal monies ranging from N156,000, N110,000, N5,000 and N2,000 owned by Signatious Hotel and committed an offence punishable under section 516 and 390 (9), of the criminal code Law Cap21C Vol.1 Law of Delta State.

The four staff, it was learnt, were granted bail on Monday through the intervention of some anti-corruption and human rights activists, who decided to take up the matter.

Warri-based human rights lawyer, Omemiroro Maxwell Ogedegbe, who confirmed the story, said that the four staff were granted bail by a magistrate court sitting in Effurun, Delta State.

Arrrrrrrh


Omg! People are just wicked. Common 5k even though it's true they stole it at his level why should he downgrade him self so low because of 5k?

Simple he could have sack, but striping them naked that's so in human and cruel of him.

Wickness of the highest order.

He shouldn't have stripped them, since he was planning to charge them to court. It's because they are at your mercy, You then decided to mishandled them.

I don't where if it's in the law that you must strip thieves then forcefully make money withdrawals from them before handling them over to the police.

OPPRESSION.

stealing is a crime, they also should have not engaged in stealing. it's more surprising that 4 people could connive together and do such. The tips guest gives + your salary should be enough.

The oga sef na thieves himself dey employ

My niggggaaaar SLAWORMIR must hear this.
Arrant nonsense. These four must seek a human rights lawyer to help them seek redress and claim damages asap.

Why Striping Them Na? His Actions Is His 2023 Campain. See You When We Get There. He Will Spend 5 billion From That 5k And Loose.

Too Bad. He should be sued and rot in jail

Before started reading I knew it was cash but didn't it will be as small as 5000. Like he isn't a thief.

Even if it was 100k they stole the millions he has stolen as a minister can he account for it.

Like those lecturers that collect blocking na them strict pass for exam hall.

All this so called Nigerian rich men they are most stingy set of people you will ever meet. I reason I shake my head when I see guys roll on the floor because of them.

They're better ways of dealing with them

God punish poverty.

PDP and bad news are inseparable.
I know it is only a PD- pig politician that will be responsible for such immoral and wicked behaviour.
To make matters worse he intends to contest as Delta state governor. And the PD -pigs with their usual way of rewarding criminals, will give him the ticket.
After plunging Nigeria into the mess we are currently struggling with. They are still waiting in the wings to take over .
May God Almighty punish the PDP and its supporters forever and ever....
Amen.

I just dey Vex... Naija Police Which Way Na...
