The Senate is considering a six-month suspension for Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan following an investigation by the Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Code of Conduct, which found her in “total violation” of Senate rules.
According to the committee’s recommendations, read by its chairman, Senator Neda Imasuen, the suspension would take effect on March 6, 2025.
The committee also proposed that during the suspension period, her office will be locked, and she will be barred from accessing the National Assembly premises during the suspension period while her salaries and those of her legislative aides will be withdrawn.
The Senate is expected to vote on the recommendation, and if upheld, it would strip the Kogi Central lawmaker of all legislative privileges for the duration of her suspension.
