The Nigerian Senate unanimously voted to suspend Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan (Kogi Central) for six months, citing a breach of its standing orders and unbecoming conduct. The suspension, which took effect on Thursday, March 6, 2025, stems from a row with the Senate President Godswill Akpabio, initially sparked by a disagreement over seating arrangements in the Senate chamber.
The Senate’s decision, reached without a single dissenting vote from the 108 senators, followed the submission of a report by the Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions.
