Latest news report by the BBC claims that Nigerian lawmakers have suspended a senator for six months, after she submitted a petition alleging she had been sexually harassed by the senate president.
According to the report published on March 6,2025, ‘Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan first made the accusations against one of the country’s top politicians, Godswill Akpabio in an interview last Friday.
After dismissing her petition on procedural grounds, the ethics committee recommended Uduaghan’s suspension, saying she had brought ‘public opprobrium’ to the upper chamber of the National Assembly.’
The BBC report added that ‘Some senators argued that her suspension be cut to three months but a majority voted to stick with the six months suspension recommended by the ethics committee’.
Women’s rights activist Hadiza Ado has described Senator Uduaghan’s suspension as a ‘sad day for Nigerian women’.
Uduaghan herself said her suspension is ‘an injustice that will not be sustained’ and vowed to continue her ‘pursuit for justice’ over her treatment.
