Summary
In the ongoing Natasha-Akpabio case, Senator Natasha has reiterated her preparedness to cooperate with the court, but her petitions against Godswill Akpabio and Yahaya Bello must be investigated.
In response to the federal government lawsuit against her, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan reiterated her stance on cooperating with the court. Still, she demands that the appropriate authorities thoroughly investigate the allegations she raised against the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, and former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello.
Speaking through her lawyers, who had earlier raised concerns over the Natasha-Akpabio law case’s selective justice, she affirmed her willingness to cooperate with the court once the trial date is set.
“She remains resolute in her commitment to the rule of law and is prepared to defend herself in court. However, justice must not be selective. The police must investigate all pending petitions—especially those implicating high-ranking officials like Akpabio and Bello,” her lawyer reads in a May 28, 2025, statement.
Natasha-Akpabio’s case continues to raise concerns about how issues of sexual assault are treated in Nigeria.
