Federal Government Withdraws Defamation Charges Against Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan

The Federal Government has formally withdrawn criminal defamation charges against Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan of Kogi Central Senatorial District. The charges stemmed from comments made during a TV interview.

The Attorney General's office filed a notice of discontinuance in the Federal High Court in Abuja. This decision comes after a series of legal actions involving prominent figures like Godswil Akpabio and Yahaya Bello.

The move to drop the charges has ended a significant legal dispute in the political landscape.
