Court Strikes Out Criminal Charges Against Natasha Akpoti and Uduaghan, Hail Tinubu

The court struck out criminal charges against Natasha Akpoti and Uduaghan, leading them to hail Bola Tinubu for withdrawing the charges. The charges, related to defamation, were withdrawn by the Federal Government, ending a legal battle that ignited a national debate on freedom of expression.

Akpoti expressed gratitude to her husband, party members, and supporters for standing by her during the legal controversy. The case attracted public scrutiny due to alleged comments made during a television interview.

The withdrawal of charges against Akpoti and Uduaghan follows a similar resolution by Godswil Akpabio and Yahaya Bello in December.
