Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central, made her return to the Senate on Tuesday at about 11:42 a.m., marking the end of her six-month suspension.
The senator entered the chamber smiling confidently, exchanged greetings with a few colleagues, and settled into her seat. She was accompanied by a group of loyal supporters and activists, including Aisha Yesufu, who observed proceedings from the gallery.
Her return follows a court ruling that described her suspension as excessive. The Senate had earlier reopened her office in compliance with the judgment, days after initially insisting she remained suspended due to pending litigation.
Akpoti-Uduaghan’s resumption comes amid lingering controversy surrounding her allegations of s+xual har@ssment against Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
