The political storm surrounding Kogi Central Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has taken a dramatic legal turn, as courts move swiftly following her lawsuits against Senate President Godswill Akpabio and Senator Onyekachi Nwaebonyi.
Senator Natasha filed defamation and rights violation suits against the two lawmakers, accusing them of targeted harassment and misconduct. Her actions have sparked a series of counter-moves—including a defamation suit from Akpabio’s wife and a criminal case brought by the Federal Government against Natasha herself.
In addition, her controversial suspension from the Senate has drawn legal backlash from her Kogi Central constituents, who are now challenging the decision in court.
The Federal High Court has scheduled key hearings, with a major ruling expected on June 27. The legal face-off continues to stir national attention, as it pits legislative authority against allegations of abuse, gender bias, and political retribution.
