The court is the proper place to test the truth of any claim, argues KEN HARRIES
In every democracy, the rule of law remains the fulcrum on which justice, accountability, and civil order revolve. When individuals, regardless of status or influence, level accusations against others, it is only just and proper that such allegations be subjected to judicial scrutiny. The ongoing controversy involving Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan is no exception.
While her allegation of sexual harassment against the President of the Nigerian Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio is still in the air, Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan made another claim – that both Senator Akpabio and a former governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, were plotting to assassinate her.
