On March 5, 2025, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan of Kogi Central formally submitted a petition accusing Senate President Godswill Akpabio of sexual harassment. This development follows a series of disputes between the two senators, including a recent defamation lawsuit filed by Akpoti-Uduaghan against Akpabio, seeking N100.3 billion in damages.
Prior to the submission of the sexual harassment petition, the Senate had stated that no formal complaint had been received regarding the allegations. The recent petition marks a significant escalation in the ongoing tensions between the two lawmakers.
The Senate has yet to officially respond to the sexual harassment petition. The outcome of this petition and the defamation lawsuit remains to be seen as both matters proceed through the appropriate legal and legislative channels.
