Akpabio Challenges Senate Suspension of Akpoti at Supreme Court

Former Nigerian Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has taken legal action to challenge the suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti by the Senate. The move to the Supreme Court signals a new phase in the dispute between the two lawmakers over alleged breaches of parliamentary privileges.

The suspension, stemming from a session in February 2025, led to a sharp division within political circles. Akpabio seeks the apex court's intervention to overturn the decision taken by lower courts and sustain the Senate's position.

The legal battle has escalated following an appeal to address the unresolved disputes satisfactorily.
