The Senate has suspended Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, who represent Kogi Central for six months, over alleged misconduct and violations of the Senate rules.

As part of the suspension, Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan’s salary and security details will be withdrawn, she will be barred from entering the National Assembly premises and won’t be able to participate in legislative activities or represent Nigeria in any official capacity, but her legislative aides will continue to receive their salaries during this period.

The Senate further ruled out reconsidering her suspension until the six-month term ends or she submits a formal apology.

In pleading for mercy, the minority leader, Senator Abba Moro recommended a three-month suspension, which he said was enough for the embattled lawmaker to realize her mistakes.

However, reacting to her suspension, Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan said the injustice done to her will not be sustained, and vowed to continue serving her constituents through other means.
