A Delta state high court sitting in Warri, presided over by Justice Vera Agbodje, has ordered Nigeria’s former minister of state for education, Barr Kenneth Gbagi, and his hotel, Signatious hotel and suites, to pay the sum of one million naira, to his ex staff Mr Victor Epharim, as compensation for violating his human rights.

Delivering her judgment, the court held that the former minister, took laws into his own hands by torturing his ex staff.

The court also found that the claims presented by the former minister were false, concocted and not believable.

It would be recalled that on the 18th of September 2020, Barr Keneth Gbagi, used armed mobile policemen attached to him, to forcibly stripped naked four of his ex staff.

The former minister had accused them of failing to remit money paid by an hotel guest.

In the same vein, the Delta state #ENDSARS panel has awarded the sum of fifteen million naira each to Mr Victor Ephraim and the other female ex staff over the violation of their fundamental human rights by armed policemen attached to Kenneth Gbagi.

Nice, they were lucky, other political power hunger f00ls will get away with it

Dude killed his political career before it even started.

Boss from hell...... Won't be surprised if some fools still support his actions

nice one, but it has taken too long for judgment, i guess this is up to 2 years old now.

delayed justice is denied justice

1M for damages or what?

Now I get, most of these political bigwigs need to know that they are not above the law and they will also be brought to book.

That judge is a useless thing. How can you award just 1m naira as compensation for torture?

The END SARS panel did better anyway. N15m is fair, at least it will help them start a better life.

Since 2020.
Naira no get value again na.

Only 1m fine? He suppose go jail +pay like 10m damages.

Should have been 2 billion each.... you can't just exposed someone naked like that

Just 1m? For this emotional torture of unclothing people and putting it online.. The court no get sense. How do you deterr the next person with just this paltry sum.

Very useless man, delta people see person when won be una governor.

Abuse of power is the normal lifestyle of our politicians

That Man must be a fucklicant,

Hmmm.. The compensation though small, but at least, justice has been seen to be served.
