The Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions has recommended a six-month suspension for Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central.

This decision follows her allegations of sexual harassment against Senate President Godswill Akpabio.

During an ongoing plenary session on Thursday, the committee advises that her salary and security details be withdrawn.

The Committee’s chairman, Senator Neda Imasuen, who presented the panel’s report at plenary, said Natasha was guilty of all allegations against her as she failed to submit herself to the legislative Committee for the review of her conduct.

The controversy ignited earlier this year when Akpoti-Uduaghan accused Akpabio of sexual harassment and abuse of office.

She claimed that her motions, particularly concerning the Ajaokuta Steel Company, were deliberately obstructed.

Here are the recommendations;

1. Suspension for 6months.

2. ⁠She must write a written apology before she resumes.

3. ⁠She shall be suspended from 6th March.

4. ⁠Her office locked for the duration and the handover of property.

5. ⁠Must not come close to the NASS complex.

6. ⁠Salaries and allowances and security details be suspended
7. ⁠She must be barred from presenting herself as a Senator for local and international media.
