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.

Speaking on Channels TV, Idris said the process is not as simple as having a list and moving suspects to court; solid evidence must first be gathered.

He called for patience and partnership with both domestic and foreign allies, emphasizing the complexity and diversity of Nigeria’s security crisis and ongoing diplomatic efforts to clarify […]
