The Federal High Court in Abuja has overturned its earlier decision nullifying the Senate’s suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan. Justice Obiora Egwuatu ruled in favor of the Senate’s application, effectively reinstating the suspension order.
The Senate had argued that the court’s previous ruling interfered with its legislative functions. Despite Natasha’s legal team opposing the move, the judge sided with the Senate, allowing the suspension to stand. The case has been adjourned to March 25 for further hearings.
