Kogi Central Senator, Natasha Apoti-Uduaghan was on Monday docked at the Federal High Court in Abuja on alleged Cybercrime against the President of the Senate, Godswill Obot Akpabio and former governor of Kogi state, Yahaya Adosa Bello.

The suspended Senator was put on trial by the office of the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice (AGF) on fresh 6-count criminal charges bordering on harmful imputations while making public comments and granting television interview.

Natasha, who was accompanied by her husband into the court room to answer the charges against her however pleaded not guilty.

The Senate President had in a petition to the Inspector General of Police complained on damages done to his reputation by Natasha on the accusation that he (Akpabio) planned to eliminate her in Kogi state.

Subsequently, and on the strength of the investigation by police, Senator Natasha was docked for Cybercrime crime against Akpabio and Yahaya Bello.

The Federal Government through the AGF office preferred a six-count criminal charge against her before the Federal High Court, Abuja.

The allegations in the charge, marked: FHC/ABJ/CR/195/2025 are rooted in cybercrime provisions, revolve around her alleged transmission of false and injurious information via electronic means allegedly calculated to malign, incite, and endanger lives and breach public order.
