 Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan Faces Court in Senate Suspension Case


Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan appeared before the Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday for a hearing in a lawsuit challenging her suspension from the Senate over alleged misconduct. The case, reassigned to Justice Binta Nyako after Justice Obiorah Egwuatu’s withdrawal, centers on claims of bias raised by one of the parties involved.


Akpoti-Uduaghan named the National Assembly, the Senate, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, and Senator Neda Imasuem, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Code of Conduct, as defendants in her motion.


During Monday’s session, Jibrin Okutekpa (SAN), counsel for the suspended senator, confirmed that all required documents had been filed as directed by the court. Paul Daudu (SAN), representing the Senate, and Ekwo Ejembi, counsel for Akpabio, also submitted their documents but raised a motion accusing Akpoti-Uduaghan of disobeying a court order. They alleged that on March 27, the senator posted a satirical letter of apology to Akpabio on her Facebook page and published it in national dailies, violating court directives.


Michael Numan (SAN), representing Akpoti-Uduaghan, denied the allegations, stating the letter had no connection to his client and lacked relevance to the case. He also referenced a prior motion filed by the plaintiff accusing the defendants of similar disobedience.


Ekwo Ejembi Eko, Akpabio’s counsel, argued that the senator’s Facebook post mocked the court’s authority, citing a motion filed on May 5. In her counter-affidavit, Akpoti-Uduaghan accused Akpabio of attempting to suppress her free speech. She clarified that her letter, which addressed sexual harassment allegations against the Senate President, was unrelated to the suspension case before the court.
