Suspended Senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, is set to appear in court on Tuesday following a summons over alleged defamation.
Her lead counsel, West Idahosa (SAN), confirmed that Akpoti-Uduaghan would honour the court’s directive, despite uncertainties surrounding the Federal Government’s plans to arraign her formally.
The charges stem from alleged defamatory remarks made during a live television interview and a private phone conversation, targeting Senate President Godswill Akpabio and former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello.
Akpoti-Uduaghan’s legal team has expressed commitment to defending her in court, while also raising concerns over selective justice, noting that multiple petitions she submitted have been ignored by authorities.
