Senator Accuses Colleague of Passport Seizure, Alleges Human Rights Violation

Natasha Akpoti, a senator representing Kogi Central, alleges that Senator Godswill Akpabio ordered Nigeria Immigration Service officials to seize her passport unlawfully, restricting her movement. In a viral video, Akpoti confronts immigration officers at the airport, claiming her constitutional rights are being violated.

She accuses Akpabio of damaging Nigeria's image internationally. The incident highlights potential abuse of power and raises questions about freedom of movement and press rights.

Both the Nigeria Immigration Service and Akpabio's office have not officially responded to the allegations.
