Suspended Kogi lawmaker, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has petitioned the Senate to comply with a recent Federal High Court judgment declaring her six-month suspension “excessive and overreaching.”

The court, in a ruling delivered on July 4, urged the red chamber to consider reinstating the senator, stating that the suspension violated both the Constitution and the rights of her constituents to representation.

In a letter dated July 11, 2025, and addressed to the Senate through her legal team, M.J. Numa & Partners LLP, the embattled senator, demanded full compliance with the judgment delivered by Justice Binta Nyako.

She also vowed to resume legislative activities on Tuesday, July 15, 2025, citing constitutional breaches in her suspension. Punch
