Federal High Court in Abuja has issued an order stopping the Senate from proceeding with a disciplinary hearing against Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.
The court’s ruling came after the Kogi Central Senator filed a lawsuit challenging the Senate’s decision to summon her for disciplinary proceedings. The case, which has drawn national attention, centers around allegations that have not been publicly disclosed by the Senate leadership.
Justice [Judge’s Name] granted an interim injunction restraining the Senate from taking any further steps against Akpoti-Uduaghan pending the determination of the suit. The judge emphasized the importance of upholding due process and ensuring that constitutional rights are not violated.
Reacting to the court’s decision, Akpoti-Uduaghan expressed confidence in the judiciary, stating that the ruling reaffirms the need for fairness and transparency in legislative proceedings. Meanwhile, Senate leadership has yet to officially respond to the ruling.
Legal analysts suggest that this case could set a precedent on the limits of the Senate’s disciplinary powers over its members.
