The Court of Appeal in Abuja has upheld the suspension of Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, the senator representing Kogi Central, ruling that the Senate acted within its constitutional powers.
In a unanimous judgment delivered on Monday, a three-member panel of the appellate court held that the senator’s parliamentary privilege and constitutional rights were not violated by the suspension imposed over alleged misconduct.
The court affirmed that the Senate has the authority to discipline its members in line with established legislative procedures.
Further details are expected.
