Natasha Akpoti- Uduaghan takes ‘sexual harassment’ case against Akpabio to Inter-Parliamentary Union in New York
Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, senator representing Kogi central, has taken her sexual harassment case against Senate President Godswill Akpabio to the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU).
She presented her case to the IPU meeting held at the United Nations headquarters in New York on Tuesday, March 11.
Akpoti-Uduaghan had accused Akpabio of making sexual advances towards her. The allegation was preceded by Akpoti-Uduaghan’s outburst against Akpabio over the seating arrangement at the senate chamber.
She was suspended on March 6 over the seat reallocation altercation for six months.
At the IPU meeting, Akpoti-Uduaghan said she is seeking justice and intervention from international democratic institutions over what she terms an “unlawful suspension” from the Nigerian senate.
