Alleged Cybercrime: Judge’s Absence Stalls Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s Trial

The trial of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, facing six counts of alleged cybercrime, was postponed at the Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday as Justice Mohammed Umar was absent. The adjournment shifts proceedings to February 4, 2026. Previous hearings were delayed due to defense objections and protests demanding the release of Nnamdi Kanu. Akpoti-Uduaghan stands accused of transmitting false and injurious electronic information, allegedly inciting violence and maligning political figures, including claims against the Senate President and the former governor of Kogi State. The case falls under the Cybercrimes Amendment Act 2024, with ongoing disputes over court jurisdiction, the nature of prosecutorial powers, and witness statement procedures.

Immigration, Natasha trade words over passport drama

The Senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, on Tuesday accused immigration officials at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, of seizing her international passport and briefly preventing her from travelling abroad. In a Facebook Live video obtained on Tuesday, the lawmaker was seen confronting immigration personnel over what she described as an unlawful restriction of movement and a violation of her fundamental rights. She recalled experiencing a similar situation in the past where she was stopped from travelling abroad, despite having no pending legal case or court order barring her from leaving the country. “Hello, fellow Nigerians. I’m Senator Natasha. Having completed my second year in office, I decided to take a week off. I’m at the airport here, and my passport has been withheld again.This same thing happened before when I was stopped from travelling even though I had […]

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 Akpoti-Uduaghan has returned to the Nigerian Senate after serving a six-month suspension. The lawmaker, representing Kogi Central, was seen on the floor as the Senate resumed plenary on Tuesday. Her return marks the end of a suspension that was imposed in March 2025 for alleged misconduct during a protest over the reassignment of her seat. Prior to her official return, her office, which had been sealed, was recently reopened. During that time, she publicly criticized Senate President Godswill Akpabio, calling him a "dictator." The suspension had sparked significant public debate, making her reinstatement a notable event in the new parliamentary session.

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 […]
