The Federal High Court in Abuja has fixed June 27, 2025, to deliver a verdict on Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan's lawsuit against her suspension by the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions. The high-stakes case pits the senator against Senate President Godswill Akpabio and others, with allegations of misconduct and power play at the forefront.
Key points:
- Senator Natasha's team argues that her suspension was unjust and seeks its reversal.
- The Senate counters that the court lacks the authority to intervene in the matter.
- The saga began with a contentious seating arrangement dispute, which snowballed into a maelstrom of allegations and counter-allegations.
The court will also determine the fate of contempt charges against Senator Natasha and Senate President Akpabio for allegedly disregarding a court order to refrain from public comments on the case.
