JUST IN : Akpabio files new case against Natasha as Kogi Senator vows to prove she was sexually harassed

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has initiated a new lawsuit against Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan of Kogi Central.

Akpoti-Uduaghan, who only recently returned to the Senate after completing her suspension following a confrontation with the Senate President during plenary, said the fresh case stems from the sexual harassment allegation she previously levelled against Akpabio.

She declared she is prepared to prove her claim.

The senator disclosed this on Friday in a post shared on her verified Facebook page.

She wrote: “Today being the 5th day of December, 2025, I’m in receipt of the newly instituted 200 billion naira suit against me by Senator Godswill Akpabio claiming defamation on sexual harassment.

“Now, I am glad that Sen. Akpabio has brought this up because the Senate Committee on Ethics and Privileges failed to grant me audience in this issue relying on the fact that Godswill Akpabio’s wife had instituted a defamatory case against me. Therefore they couldn’t attend to a matter already in court.

“Albeit, I couldn’t proceed to court because by senate rules, I must still present my case before the Ethics committee (same committee that recommended my illegal suspension).

“Alas, I now have a chance to prove how I was sexually harassed and how my refusal to give into his demands unleashed series of unprovoked and unprecedented attacks on my person.

See you in court Godswill Akpabio.”

According to information obtained by PlatinumPost, the matter before the High Court in Abuja is scheduled for hearing on 21 January 2026.
