A group of demonstrators under the banner of Women for Change Vanguard took their grievances to the United Nations office in Abuja on Friday, protesting against Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s allegations against Senate President Godswill Akpabio.

The protesters, chanting and holding banners, called on the Kogi Central senator to provide proof of her claims that Akpabio sexually harassed her.

The demonstration occurred a day after Akpoti-Uduaghan filed a contempt charge against Akpabio following her six-month suspension from the Senate without pay.

She had previously raised concerns about her suspension at a United Nations forum, alleging political victimization.

The senator was suspended on March 6 after clashing with the Senate leadership over seating arrangements, which she claimed were meant to undermine her.

Tensions between the two escalated further when Akpoti-Uduaghan accused Akpabio on national television of punishing her for rejecting his alleged advances.

This prompted the Women for Change Vanguard to submit a petition to the UN, urging Akpoti-Uduaghan to present credible evidence or risk undermining genuine cases of sexual harassment.

The leader of the protest, Irene Umoh, emphasized the importance of distinguishing real victims from those who allegedly weaponize accusations. She stated that while their movement supports victims of sexual violence, false allegations harm the credibility of real survivors and can be used to target political opponents.

“Our protest is not just about justice but also accountability. If Senator Natasha has evidence, she should present it. If not, it is unfair to use such accusations as a political tool. We must ensure fairness for all, including men who are falsely accused,” Umoh said.
