The Federal High Court in Abuja has fined Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan N5 million for contempt (due to a satirical post) against Senate President Godswill Akpabio, while also directing her recall from suspension.
Justice Binta Nyako delivered the verdict on Friday in the alleged misconduct case involving Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, and the Nigerian Senate.
Justice Binta Nyako had adjourned for judgment on Tuesday after hearing the final submissions from the legal teams regarding the suit filed by the female lawmaker, which challenged her suspension by the Senate over allegations of misconduct and claims of bias by one of the defendants.
