Security denies Akpoti-Uduaghan entry into NASS

There was mild drama at the National Assembly on Tuesday as security personnel barred Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan from entering the complex.

The lawmaker, who was suspended for six months by the Senate, had vowed to resume legislative duties following a court ruling that ordered her reinstatement.

However, when her convoy arrived at the entrance, security officials denied her access. Senator Natasha, seated in a black vehicle, was stopped alongside a car ahead of her, which carried prominent activist Aisha Yesufu.

But later on, she alighted from her car and proceeded into the National Assembly on foot, accompanied by some supporters.

The standoff drew attention as supporters questioned the enforcement of the court’s directive.
