Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has made her first court appearance since initiating legal action to challenge her recent suspension from the Senate. The court session, which took place earlier this week, saw the senator facing contempt charges brought against her.
The charges follow a motion filed by Senate Counsel, Paul Daudu SAN, and the Senate President’s legal representative, Eko Ejembi SAN. The legal team accuses the senator of disregarding Senate procedures and attempting to undermine its authority through her public and legal actions.
Observers say the case could set a critical precedent for how internal disciplinary measures in the National Assembly are handled legally. Meanwhile, the senator maintains that her suspension was unjust and politically motivated.
