Ekaette Akpabio, wife of Senate President Godswill Akpabio, has filed multiple lawsuits against Kogi Central Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, seeking N250 billion in damages over alleged defamatory remarks.
The legal battle follows Akpoti-Uduaghan’s explosive claims on Arise TV, where she accused the Senate President of making inappropriate advances toward her at his office and home in Akwa Ibom.
Ekaette Akpabio has strongly refuted these allegations, calling them baseless and describing her husband as a man of integrity.
She argues that the accusations have caused her and her children significant emotional distress and psychological harm.
In response, she has taken legal action at the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court, requesting a restraining order to prevent further defamatory statements.
She is also demanding a public apology from Akpoti-Uduaghan, to be published in two national newspapers.
Additionally, the lawsuit seeks N1 billion in punitive damages and a perpetual injunction barring any further statements that could damage the Akpabio family’s reputation.
