I’m now ready to prove my case against Akpabio – Natasha

Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan (PDP, Kogi Central) said she is ready to prove her sexual harassment case against the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.

She said this in response to a N200 billion defamation suit filed against her by the Senate President, in Abuja, on Friday, while confirming receipt of the lawsuit.

The lawmaker stated that Akpabio’s suit has given her an opportunity denied her by the Senate Ethics and Privileges Committee to prove her allegations before a court of competent jurisdiction.

In a statement, the Kogi Central Senator declared that the court case now provided the platform she has long awaited.

According to the female lawmaker, she will prove that she was indeed sexually harassed and that her refusal to submit to the alleged advances triggered sustained political attacks against her.

See you in court, Godswill Akpabio,” she declared.

The Senate President had filed a N200 billion defamation lawsuit against Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, accusing her of publishing malicious allegations that he sexually harassed her.

Documents from the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory indicate that Akpabio is demanding extensive damages, retractions, and nationwide broadcast apologies, insisting that the senator’s claims severely injured his reputation and subjected him to public ridicule.
