FCT High Court Adjourns Senator Natasha's Defamation Trial to 2026

The FCT High Court has postponed Senator Natasha Akpoti's defamation trial to February 23, 2026, after a request from the Attorney General of the Federation. The case involves three counts of criminal defamation against Senator Godswill Akpabio and former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello.

Akpoti and Uduaghan are accused of plotting to kill Senator Akpabio. The court described the case as an abuse of the legal process but acknowledged the need for a thorough investigation.

The trial aims to establish a prima facie case and prevent the abuse of legal procedures.
