The Senate is anticipated to vote on the recommendation.
The Senate is contemplating a six-month suspension for Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.
This decision follows an investigation by the Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Code of Conduct, which has cited her for a complete breach of Senate regulations.
According to the committee’s recommendation, presented by its Chairman, Senator Neda Imasuen, Senator Natasha’s suspension is set to commence on 6th March 2025.
The committee also advised that her office be locked, and she be prohibited from accessing the premises of the National Assembly throughout the suspension period, with her salary and that of her legislative aides being withdrawn.
Furthermore, the committee recommended that she be barred from representing Nigeria in any official capacity as one of the country’s senators during the period of suspension. It was also suggested that the Kogi Central lawmaker may submit a written apology for the Senate to consider regarding her suspension.
The Senate is expected to vote on this recommendation, which, if upheld, would effectively revoke Senator Natasha’s legislative privileges for the duration of her suspension.
