Explosive Allegations! DSS, NIA Probe Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan In Shocking Investigation

According to high-ranking administration officials and senior security officers, the State Security Service (SSS) and the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) are investigating how she gained access to the global parliamentary summit without approval. The probe also seeks to determine who facilitated her accreditation and whether her attendance was a deliberate attempt to embarrass Nigeria.

Officials speaking anonymously due to the sensitivity of the matter told Premium Times that Nigeria strictly follows IPU participation rules, which permit only officially designated delegates to attend and represent their countries.

The IPU, a global organization of national parliaments, requires that all delegates be formally registered with its Secretariat before the meeting. Observers may be allowed, but their participation must be explicitly approved by both the IPU and the delegation from their country.

However, Nigerian authorities argue that Akpoti-Uduaghan bypassed these protocols before attending the March 11 meeting, where she made controversial statements regarding her suspension from the Nigerian Senate.

At the event, she claimed that her six-month suspension was politically motivated to silence her criticism of legislative misconduct and further alleged instances of sexual harassment against Senate President Godswill Akpabio.

In response, IPU President Tulia Ackson stated that while the IPU would investigate her claims, the Nigerian Senate would also be allowed to present its own side of the issue.

A Nigerian delegate at the IPU meeting, Kafilat Ogbara, dismissed Akpoti-Uduaghan’s allegations, stating that her suspension was due to violations of Senate Standing Rules, not political victimization.

Similarly, Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele raised concerns during Thursday’s plenary about Akpoti-Uduaghan’s presence at the IPU meeting, stressing that Nigeria did not authorize her participation.
