A recent court proceeding in Abuja has resulted in the adjournment of a suit filed by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central Senatorial District, until March 25, 2025. This decision came after the respondents informed the court that they had not yet received the necessary documents related to the case.
Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan had initiated legal action seeking a court order to prevent the Senate Committee on Ethics and Privileges from investigating her. In a related development, Justice Obiora Egwuatu issued a ruling on March 5, 2025, temporarily halting the committee's investigation.
This legal battle is part of a broader controversy involving Akpoti-Uduaghan, who was recently suspended from the Senate for six months following accusations of misconduct and her allegations of sexual harassment against Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
Despite her suspension, Akpoti-Uduaghan continues to assert her legitimacy as a senator and has vowed to continue serving her constituents.
