Tension Rises As Court Sets June 27 For Final Verdict In Akpoti-Uduaghan Suspension Saga
Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja has scheduled June 27, 2025, to deliver the final judgment in the legal challenge filed by suspended Kogi Central Senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
According to Naija News, Akpoti-Uduaghan is contesting her suspension from the Senate, alleging that it was politically motivated and unjust.
The senator was suspended by the Senate under the leadership of Senate President Godswill Akpabio, following accusations of misconduct. In response, she filed a lawsuit naming the National Assembly, the Senate, the Senate President, and Senator Neda Imasuen—the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions—as defendants.
The case was initially handled by Justice Obiorah Egwuatu, who later recused himself. It was then reassigned to Justice Nyako.
At the most recent hearing on Monday, the court acknowledged that both parties had complied with its directive to submit all required documents. Representing Akpoti-Uduaghan, lawyer Jibrin Okutepa confirmed that all necessary filings had been made.
However, counsel for the Senate and Senate President—Paul Daudu and Ekwo Ejembi—accused the senator of defying the court’s orders by publishing a satirical apology addressed to the Senate President on her Facebook page on March 27, which was also featured in print media.
“The plaintiff responded to our motion,” the defense noted, citing her actions as contemptuous.
In response, Akpoti-Uduaghan’s co-counsel, Michael Numan, confirmed receipt of the contempt motion and reminded the court that the defense had also been previously accused of disobeying court orders. Numan argued that the post in question was unrelated to the senator and did not amount to contempt.
