Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central, has officially submitted a petition accusing Senate President Godswill Akpabio of sexual harassment.
The petition was presented on the Senate floor on Tuesday as the upper legislative chamber resumed plenary.
This move comes after the Senate previously stated it was not investigating the allegations due to the absence of a formal petition.
Senate Under Pressure Amid Growing Protests
Natasha’s submission coincides with ongoing protests in Abuja, where demonstrators are demanding Akpabio’s resignation.
The senator was seen at the National Assembly complex in the morning, accompanied by her husband, ahead of the petition submission.
The allegations have sparked intense political tension, with supporters and critics reacting across various platforms.
Calls for a thorough investigation into the matter are growing louder, as civil society organizations and advocacy groups weigh in.
Further details on the case and the Senate’s next course of action are expected soon.
