The Police on Friday raided Signatious hotel purportedly owned by a former Minister of Education(State) Olorogun Kenneth Gbagi in Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State.

The arrest is sequel to outcries by members of the public especially human right activists who staged a peaceful protest round the town today.

The protesters carried placards with inscriptions such as, “Stop the violence against women”, “Female dignity natters”, “Delta lives matters” amongst others.

It would be recalled that the management of the hotel allegedly stripped naked, photographed, arrested and prosecuted four former Staff for stealing some amount of money.

The two staff who were arrested were alleged to be in connection with the said offences.

A human right activist, Comrade Israel Joe in a chat with Our Correspondent disclosed that, “The IGP has ordered for the arrest of Gbagi. But we are not satisfied.

“I demand that the hotel be sealed immediately and he(Gbagi)should be wanted and made to face the law.”

In the same vein, Hon. Ogbevire Ashubu said all Staff should stop working at the hotel with immediate effects.

Also in a chat with Our Correspondent, Comrade Sussy Ogagbe claimed that the Ex-minister has been terrorizing his workers and tenants. She said, “This should be the opportunity to speak out.”
