In a dramatic turn of events, suspended Kogi Senator Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan has taken her case against Senate President Godswill Akpabio to the global stage. On Tuesday, she addressed the Women in Parliament session at the Inter-Parliamentary Union Meeting (IPU) at the United Nations in New York, seeking justice and intervention from global democratic institutions.
Senator Natasha described her suspension from the Senate as “illegal” and expressed concerns about the injustice meted out to her. Her speech was followed by worries about her security, as she claimed there were indications that she might be held against her will in New York by “the powers that be” from Nigeria.
This development comes after Senator Natasha was suspended from the Senate, sparking controversy over her allegations against Senate President Akpabio. The case has drawn attention to the handling of sexual harassment allegations in Nigeria’s political sphere.
As the situation unfolds, many are watching to see how global institutions will respond to Senator Natasha’s call for justice.
