Senator Natasha breaks silence on FG’s withdrawal of criminal charges

Senator Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan has reacted to the Federal Government’s decision to withdraw the criminal charges earlier filed against her over alleged defamation and cyber related offences. The Kogi Central lawmaker said the move vindicates her long standing claims that the case was politically motivated and aimed at silencing her.​ Court documents show that the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation filed a notice of discontinuance on December 12, 2025, effectively ending the case marked FHC/ABJ/CR/195/2025 at the Federal High Court in Abuja. The charges stemmed from petitions by Senate President Godswill Akpabio and former Kogi governor Yahaya Bello after Natasha alleged during a TV interview that her life was being threatened.​ Senator Natasha thanked Nigerians, civil society groups and her constituents for standing by her throughout the legal battle. She maintained that public office holders must be […]

Natasha Clarifies Invitation to Akpabio as Protocol

Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has clarified that her official invitation to Senate President Godswill Akpabio and other senators was a standard procedural courtesy, not a personal or political gesture. The invitation was for colleagues to attend the inauguration of constituency projects marking her second anniversary in the Senate. After the letter was read during plenary, some interpretations suggested it was an "olive branch" amidst their known political differences. The Senator expressed displeasure at this interpretation on her social media handles. She stated that the announcement was a routine protocol and not a sign of reconciliation. "Announcement by protocol don turn to 'Olive Branch, Reconciliation'," she wrote, adding that failing to invite the institution would have also been criticized. She explained that she followed customary practice by writing to the Senate through the presiding officer. She emphasized that despite ongoing court cases, […]

AGF Says Senator Natasha Violated Law in Akpabio Case

The Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) has defended its decision to file defamation charges against Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, stating her actions violated the Penal Code. The charges were initiated following complaints from Senate President Godswill Akpabio and former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello. The case relates to public statements made by the senator, including an allegation of an assassination plot against her. Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan, who pleaded not guilty after being arraigned in June, filed a preliminary objection seeking to dismiss the charges. She argues that the AGF is abusing its prosecutorial power. In a newly filed counter-affidavit, the AGF's office urged the court to reject this objection. It stated that the charges were filed in the public interest after a police investigation and are consistent with Nigerian law. The prosecution alleges the senator made "harmful imputations," claiming […]

Senator Natasha Set for Return as Six-Month Suspension Ends

Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan (Kogi Central) has completed the six-month suspension imposed on her by the Senate on March 6, 2025, paving the way for her return to plenary. The lawmaker was barred from legislative duties, entry into the National Assembly, and access to official resources after being accused of breaching Senate rules. Akpoti-Uduaghan has consistently dismissed the sanction as politically motivated, insisting it was triggered by her petition alleging sexual harassment by Senate President Godswill Akpabio. Her suspension sparked weeks of controversy, peaking in July when she stormed the National Assembly with her lawyers, brandishing a court judgment she claimed ordered her immediate recall. With the suspension now expired, focus has shifted to how her return will unfold amid lingering friction with the Senate leadership. Political observers say her re-entry could test unity in the chamber as key legislative battles […]

Akpabio Urges Nigerians to Safeguard Public Facilities

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has urged Nigerians to take responsibility for protecting and maintaining government-owned facilities in their communities. He made the appeal on Tuesday during the commissioning of constituency projects in Ika Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State. In a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Media, Jackson Udom, Akpabio said his role as a lawmaker is to provide projects that benefit the people, while citizens must ensure the facilities are well-maintained. “You, as the beneficiaries of these projects, owe the government a duty to protect the facilities so that they won’t be vandalised or destroyed by enemies of progress,” he said. Akpabio stressed that communities should “own” the projects, noting that neglect or vandalism discourages further government investment. He also reaffirmed the commitment of President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope administration to grassroots development and economic empowerment. […]
