COURT REVERSES ORDER WHICH NULLIFIED SENATE ACTION DURING NATASHA'S SUIT AGAINST AKPABIO.(PHOTO).


 Court reverses order which nullified Senate action during Natasha’s suit against Akpabio 


The Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday, March 19, 2025, set aside its earlier order which nullified any action taken during  Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s pending suit which challenges her suspension by the Senate over allegations of misconduct.


Justice Obiora Egwuatu gave the order in a ruling on Wednesday.


Recall  that Akpoti-Uduaghan had filed a motion ex parte marked FHC/ABJ/CS/384/2025, suing the Clerk of the National Assembly (NASS), the Senate, the Senate President, and Senator Neda Imasuem, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Code of Conduct.


On March 4, 2025, Justice Egwuatu granted Akpoti-Uduaghan’s motion, barring the parties from taking further action against her while the suit was pending( Order 4).


In subsequent proceedings, Justice Egwuatu ordered the defendants to file their defense in the case.


At Wednesday’s proceedings, counsel for the Senate, Chikaosolu Ojukwu SAN, adopted a motion he filed on March 17, 2025, which seeks, among other reliefs, an order discharging or staying the effect of Order No. 4 in the Enrolled ex-parte Orders of this Honourable Court made on 4th March 2025.


He stressed that on March 4, 2025, the court declared that any action taken during the pendency of this suit is null, void, and of no effect whatsoever.


Ojukwu responded that there is a difference between court orders obtained by fraud and a bid to vary a subsisting court order.


Ruling on the submissions on Wednesday, Justice Egwuatu held the position that setting aside the order nullifying any action pending Natasha’s case will not in any way prejudice her case.


The judge refused to set aside the proceedings of March 4, wherein he made the orders, saying it was not part of the formal prayers of the defense.


The Court subsequently fixed March 25, 2025, for the hearing of all applications.
