The Senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, departed the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja on Thursday morning for London.
Akpoti-Uduaghan was said to have arrived at the international terminal with her husband, Chief Emmanuel Uduaghan, only to be stopped by immigration officials and informed that she could not travel because her name had been placed on a watch list.
After nearly an hour, she was cleared to board her British Airways flight. Our source was informed that: “The Senator was blocked briefly from traveling.”
Immigration authorities are yet to comment on the matter, but the incident is coming amidst growing tensions between the senator and the leadership of the National Assembly.
The Kogi Central Senator is challenging the Senate’s recent decision to suspend her from her position after she openly protested the change of her seating position.
She later accused the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, of sexual harassment, an allegation Akpabio has fiercely rejected.
