Yesterday, the lawmaker representing Kogi Central in the 10th Nigerian Senate, Sen. Natasha Akpoti forced her way into the National Assembly complex but was denied access into the Senate Chamber as she attempted resuming from “controversial” suspension.
This development has forced the leadership of the Senate to issue a fresh update on when the lawmaker would be allowed to resume legislative proceedings.
Senate spokesman Yemi Adaramodu says Kogi Central Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan remains suspended till the red chamber resume from recess in two months’ time.
Adaramodu said this yesterday when he sat as a guest on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Tuesday, hours after the Senate barred the suspended lawmaker from resuming.
Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan was suspended in March 2025 for violating Senate rules after a seat arrangement brawl with Senate President Godswill Akpabio whom she accused of sexual misconduct, an allegation Akpabio denied.
