In a startling revelation, suspended Kogi State Central Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has raised concerns regarding an alleged plan by Nigerian security officials to arrest her upon her return to the country. This announcement comes shortly after her participation in the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) meeting held in New York on March 11, 2025.
Akpoti-Uduaghan claims that her impending arrest is linked to her vocal criticisms during the IPU meeting, where she addressed her controversial suspension from the Senate and made serious allegations of sexual harassment against the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio. Although she did not specify which security agency is involved, she firmly believes that she is targeted for her outspoken stance on these issues.
In her statements, Akpoti-Uduaghan emphasized that her suspension was politically motivated, aimed at silencing her for her allegations of misconduct within the legislative chamber. She has sought international intervention, stating that her situation warrants global attention and scrutiny.
The President of the IPU, Tulia Ackson, has responded to her claims, indicating that the parliamentary body would conduct an investigation while also allowing the Nigerian Senate to present its perspective on the matter.
As Akpoti-Uduaghan prepares for her return to Abuja, the political landscape remains tense, with many watching closely to see how the situation unfolds. The implications of her allegations and the government’s response may have far-reaching effects on the country’s political climate.
