Operatives of the Nigeria Police Force have dispersed ers of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central Senatorial District, as they attempted to access the National Assembly Complex.

Reports indicate that the protesters gathered at the assembly gate as early as 8:00 am, coinciding with the resumption of plenary and the scheduled hearing of the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions.

However, police officers deployed tear gas to disperse the crowd, citing the need to prevent a potential breakdown of law and order.

The protesters are said to have now relocated to the Unity Fountain in Abuja to continue their demonstration.

The protest comes amid rising tensions following a February 20, 2025 clash between Akpoti-Uduaghan and Senate President Godswill Akpabio over seating arrangements in the Senate chamber. The disagreement led to her referral to the Senate’s ethics committee.

Last Friday, Akpoti-Uduaghan accused Akpabio of sexual harassment and claimed she was being targeted because she rejected his advances — an allegation that has further fueled public scrutiny.

As expected, clowns.
Till I see Natasha children or Akpabio children leading the protest before I take them serious. After collecting fat pay, you expect the poor person to get into hot sun and protest for you.
Protest for any Nigerian politician at your own risks. All of their children are in abroad while the poor are suffering and doing the dirty work

Some irresponsible losers will defend them. Natasha that harasses her husband like a houseboy. The husband asked her twice if there's any issues.

They need to make some of them scapegoats. Protesting over allegations from a woman as controversial as Natasha? A woman who has in the time past alleged same against another man but could not prove it and had to shamefully delete her posts? Are these protesters stewpeed or just doing what they were paid for?

The problem has never been the preek but the hoe in of political relevance through blackmail. You can never ride a horse unless the house allows the rider. What did Natasha intend to achieve by scheduling a meeting with Akpabio in a hotel?

Sanctioned for? What do you suggest to be done to the woman when it's proven that she has no point?
