Former Minister of State for Education, Chief Kenneth Gbagi, has been declared wanted by the Delta State Police Command.
The declaration is sequel to petitions indicting the former minister of dehumanizing four of his hotel staff and his refusal to oblige invitations by the Commissioner of Police, CP Muhammed Inuwa.
It would be recalled that MDB reported that Kenneth allegedly stripped naked four of his staff and photographed inside the hotel before taken to Ebrumede Police Station where they were remanded in custody over alleged N5k theft.
The four staff of the hotel have been identified as Gloria Oguzie, Victor Ephraim, Rosslyn Okiemute and Achibong Precious.
It was also alleged that the hotel management forcefully made some withdrawals from their bank accounts with their ATM cards before the police took them away in a waiting van.
In a statement signed by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Onome Onovwakpoyeya, the police has now urged members of the public to provide the command with information of his whereabouts for his immediate arrest.
Read the full statement below;
THE DELTA STATE POLICE COMMAND DECLARE
OLOROGUN KENNETH GBAGI WANTED.
Olorogun Kenneth Gbagi was invited by the Commissioner of Police through the Area Commander Warri and DPO Ebrumede Division on September 25th, 2020 for questioning concerning the alleged dehumanizing manner in which he ordered some of his staffs to be stripped naked and physically assaulted because of an alleged case of stealing which took place at Signatious Hotel belonging to him. Kenneth Gbagi personally and severally called and gave the excuse that he has a burial ceremony of his elder sister on Friday 25/9/2020 in which he is a key player, and asked for time to finish with the ceremony on Sunday, thereafter will report at the State Headquarters on Monday, September 28, 2020. These requests were granted on humanitarian ground.
On Monday, September, 28th2020, Kenneth Gbagi called the Commissioner of Police to say that he has a court case to attend to, promising to report at the Police Headquarters in Asaba by 3:00 pm; again he was equally obliged. On the same date, the Commissioner of Police had to call him at about 5:00 pm before the same Kenneth Gbagi said he was on his way to the State HQ Asaba. Sadly and unfortunately Kenneth Gbagi still failed to report instead he went into the public space to disparage, blackmail and maligned the person of the Commissioner of Police and the Nigeria Police Force, Delta State Command for insisting on investigating him.
Having failed to honour his promises, DELTA STATE POLICE COMMAND is left with no option than to DECLARE OLOROGUN KENNETH GBAGI WANTED.
Therefore members of the public with useful information as to his whereabouts are advised to go to the nearest Police Station to report for his immediate arrest and handing him over to the Command for thorough investigation/prosecution.
