Senator Natasha Akpabio-Uduaghan said her six-month suspension by the Nigerian Senate is “an injustice that will not be sustained”.
Naturenex recalls that Senator Akpabio-Uduaghan was suspended on Thursday, March 6, 2025 amid her sexual harassment allegation against the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.
The Kogi Central Senator’s office will be locked, and her aides will not receive salaries.
The suspension follows a confrontation with Akpabio over the reassignment of her seat. She can only have the suspension lifted by submitting a formal apology to the Senate.
The Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions, recommended that Akpabio-Uduaghan’s salary and security details be withdrawn during the period of her suspension.
As reported by vanguard, the lawmakers unanimously agreed via voice votes that the Senator be suspended for six months.
Before her microphone was turned off, the Kogi Central senator said her suspension is an injustice that cannot stand.
“This injustice will not be sustained.”
