The Police on Friday, September 25, 2020 raided Signatious hotel purportedly owned by a former Minister of Education, Olorogun Kenneth Gbagi, over alleged maltreatment of staff.

The arrest was after an outcry by members of the public especially human right activists who staged a peaceful protest around town today.

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

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

A human right activist, Comrade Israel Joe 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 declared 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 effect.

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.”

While noting that women’s rights matter, Ogagbe said Olorogun Kenneth Gbagi must be prosecuted in line with the existing laws of the land.
