Court Adjourns Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan's Defamation Case Hearing to Dec 1, 2025

The High Court in Abuja adjourned the hearing on Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan's defamation case to December 1, 2025. The Senator faces three counts of defamation against a former Kogi State governor.

The prosecution accused Akpoti-Uduaghan of making false claims about a plot to kill and linking the governor to a death case. The defense raised objections, citing improper service of legal documents.

The court granted an adjournment to address the objections. Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan pleaded not guilty to the charges.

The defense requested a longer adjournment due to a legal team member's absence at an international bar association meeting in Canada.
