Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan of Kogi Central has formally submitted a sexual harassment petition against Senate President Godswill Akpabio on the floor of the National Assembly.
The petition was tendered during the resumption of Senate plenary on Tuesday, March 4, morning, shortly after the upper legislative chamber reconvened.
This move follows earlier claims made by Akpoti-Uduaghan, but the Senate had previously stated it would not investigate the allegations until a formal petition was presented.
Akpoti-Uduaghan was seen arriving at the Assembly complex with her husband on Tuesday, just hours before submitting the petition.
The submission marks a significant development in the ongoing controversy between the two lawmakers.
This petition comes amid growing protests in Abuja, with demonstrators calling for Akpabio’s resignation over the allegations.
The protests, led by various civil society groups, have intensified as the situation continues to unfold.
Further details on the proceedings and the petition’s impact will be provided as the situation develops.
