Akpoti-Uduaghan Challenges Akpabio Over Harassment Claims
Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has accused Senate President Godswill Akpabio of sexual harassment, alleging that he assaulted her during a Senate session in February 2025.
In response, the Nigerian Senate suspended Akpoti-Uduaghan for six months, citing misconduct unrelated to the harassment claim. The suspension bars her from accessing her office, security details, and allowances during this period.
Undeterred, Akpoti-Uduaghan has taken her grievance to the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) in New York, seeking international intervention and support. This move underscores her commitment to pursuing justice beyond national legislative channels.
For more context, Akpoti-Uduaghan has a history of advocating for transparency and accountability, notably in her campaign to revive the Ajaokuta Steel Mill, which earned her recognition and awards.
