Ex-Nigerian Minister Arrests Hotel Staff, Strip Them Naked For Allegedly Stealing N5,000

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, SaharaReporters has learnt.

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.



Our correspondent 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

What a foolish ex minister. He should tell us he developed appetite to behold some inner qualities of his female staff being covered by clothes since he never had X-ray eyes to see through clothes. The male staff was just included to bring about gender equality. Look at how the male staff now ended up developing some serious arrow around his waist having seen his female colleagues inner collateral.

temper justice with mercy....


Stripping them naked (This is uncalled )

Nah eh! No qualms
This is so unsophisticated

For #5k

Na wa

Some people's wickedness at times make the devil to appear kind. To worsen the issue, he is nursing a governorship ambition. Just imagine the kind of Governor this man wil eventually become. God has finally exposed him. During the electioneering campaign, they all become angels.

And he stole millions of naira, nobody naked him..

They say if you want to hide something from a black man "hide it in a book".
They were not alleged to have stolen 5k as the title said but a total of 273,000 naira which they stole in the range of 156,000, 110,000, 5,000 and 2,000 naira respectively.
Read what is in the paper before you judge.
Our main concern should be the inhumane treatment of the poor workers before prosecution. Nobody should be treated that way, especially for a simple employee and employer foreign exchange

See dat guy dick....in front of girls..chai

This is bad.
The ex-minister and anyone involved should be charged for assault.
Those staff can also get a good lawyer to claim damages.

Meanwhile, media houses should stop lying when defending victims of harrassment
and assault. It turns the case from that of human rights to subtle blackmail.
The victims weren't arrested because of 5K, though the amount make no difference
as to the crime committed against them.

Man inhumanity to Man.

Stripping them naked is completely wrong.

I believe the guy did this to see the girls panties.
Sometimes I dislike voyeurs, they can do weird things for fun

Gbagi the biggest criminal in Ibori government and one of Ibori boys. His hotel that non-functional and he should forget his governorship ambition 2014, 2007 and now.

Lmao..
But, that's cruel on the ex-minist3r's part tho.
If tables were turned, I'm sure he wouldn't like to be stripped naked over accusation of him mis-appropriating government funds during his time.
This, which most politicians are guilty of.

For real

It shows how poor people are suffering in this country. It shows the level at which the elites have reduced the poor ones to. It's a terrible place to live in. After all he had stolen from government, just 5k and he became so furious to the extent of stripping suspects naked. God dey sha.

Imagine, a bigger thief catching smaller thief.

And he wants to contest for Governor in 2023?

lol

Na dis1 won b future governor
