The Nigerian Senate has handed a six-month suspension to Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central Senatorial District.

This decision was made after a majority vote, supporting the recommendations of the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Code of Conduct.

The committee, chaired by Senator Neda Imasuen, had earlier presented the panel’s report at plenary, said Natasha was guilty of all allegations against her as she failed to submit herself to the legislative Committee for the review of her conduct.

The committee also proposed that Akpoti-Uduaghan issue a formal apology to the Senate for actions deemed disrespectful.

Akpoti-Uduaghan who accused the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio of sexual harassment and abuse of office.

However, the Senate leader has consistently denied all allegations, emphasizing his respect for women and refuting claims of any misconduct.

As part of her suspension, Akpoti-Uduaghan’s office will be locked, and she will be barred from accessing the National Assembly’s premises.

Also, the Kogi State Senator’s salaries and her legislative aides will also be suspended during this period.

Senate Minority Leader Abba More,who had earlier pleaded for reduction of the suspension however, endorsed the ethics committee report, stating that the lawmaker’s actions warranted disciplinary action, likening her to “a child” who needs correction.

He said, “As Nigerians, we have a tradition; if you beat your child with the right hand, you draw that child with the left hand.”
