Senate Committee Recommends Six-Month Suspension for Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan

The Senate Committee on Ethics has called for a six-month suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, following her allegations of sexual harassment against Senate President Godswill Akpabio.

Senator Neda Imasuen, the committee’s chairman, presented the panel’s report to the Senate, stating that Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan was found guilty of the allegations leveled against her. This determination was made due to her “failure to submit herself to the legislative Committee for the review of her conduct.”

In addition to the suspension, the committee has recommended that the Senator representing Kogi Central issue an apology to the Senate for “disrespecting the Senate.”

During the proposed six-month suspension, the committee further recommends that her salary and security details be withdrawn.
