A recently resurfaced video shows Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, who represents Kogi Central, alleging that an unnamed minister sexually harassed her while she was seeking employment after working for five years at Brass LNG.
In the footage, seemingly from a past press briefing, Akpoti-Uduaghan recounts how the minister admitted that he could not offer her a position because she would be a “distraction” to him unless he had his way with her.
“I remember many years ago, I was just out of Brass LNG, where I worked for five years, and I was trying to get into an office. I sent my CVs to a number of highly placed persons, and there was a particular minister who told me, ‘Natasha, I know you’re very intelligent and you’ll be quite resourceful, but unfortunately, I cannot have you in my office because you will be a distraction to me.’ And I was like, how do you mean, sir? He said, ‘I will not be able to close my eyes a day without thinking of having you for myself,’” she stated in the video.
