Even though majority believe Akpabio made Sexual Advances at her, it is actually difficult to establish a case of Sexual Harassment against him, in the absence of hard evidence.

In the end it will be left to Akpabio's conscience & his God to judge him.

And a very bad precedence had been set, the SP will be seeing himself as untouchable,

It is well

Victim Suspended While The Accused Presides Over Victim's Suspension, Akpabio Will One Day Akpabio Will Write a Book And Confess Open In The Book ,

That's good
They should recall her from her constituenty
She is dubious

That's good
They should recall her from her constituency
She is dubious

collins2good:
How I understand why I keep seeing useless comments up and down in Nairaland, if you watch the live session concerning this suspension, you will know that no single senator her, even the other two senator from Kogi were against her , her party is against her, even the other female senators are not with her, She failed in all her action, she didn't even understand the rules concerning the senate. She should just learn from her mistake.

You made a valid point, her high handedness has caused her all this set back. The drama queen wanted to divert the attention of the senate and Nigerians from her violation of senate rules and impeding consequences which the senate has rightly handed over to her today.

Which distinguish people

Ijaya123:


This is pure magnanimity of the lowest order.

Good. Let her go back and learn how to conduct herself properly among distinguished people instead of being arrogant.

You can't just be throwing allegation up and down without any proof and think you will get away with it because of female privileges.

It doesn't work that way in politics.

Good. The way to go. No indiscipline should be tolerated.

Shinjawestern:
Nice one..

A woman with 6 husbands is not suppose to be in the senate .

She should be in the club twerking.

God bless the good people of Southsouth and southwest

Na be say them calculate the husband, give her suspension lol

So a woman Confesses that She Was Harassed Sexually and she Gets Suspended instead?
Let me just see a stup!d guy say Trash about women Being Feminists, When this country is Generally Unfair to Women.

Why dem no give am 12months suspension

MadamExcellency:
This calls for celebration.
Never reward rascality, insolence, blackmail and barminess.

Even if Akpabio was her estranged boyfriend, this nonsense doesn't warrant disrespecting the parliament, the most revered institution of the governmen

most corrupt, you mean?

Philistine:
Very Good. She lacks the maturity to perform the role of a Senator.

Is your mother mature enough to be a Senator?

Pleasant riddance!

Could she also be suspended for taking her personal grudges to the Senate (distracting Nigerians, neglecting the functional duties of the Senate, and abusing the Senate as a floor to ghetto-fight SP's)?

Gbam! As a senator you put the people who elected you first and not your personal grievance. She's new in politics and doesn't want to learn. Beauty not enough.. get brain.

LordBiden:

What is wicked about this?

Where is her evidence?

Her suspension is not because of her allegation of sexual overtures of Senate President.

She was suspended for her disrespect to the senate as an institution on the 20th of February.

Aluta should be on campus and on the streets of okene. Bringing it to the senate as if he wants to show Yahaya Bello who she be is childish and stupid altogether.

Only akpabio know say him fck up.

He loose guide completely

The Nigerian Senate can’t suspend Senator Natasha. They didn’t put her in the Senate. Her constituents did.

Note: The Senator reading out the outrageous charges is an Labour Party Senator.

Who’s really on the side of justice these days in Nigeria?

Exactly! There are procedures.

The senate is not for the senators only, it is a Nigerian institution. And that's besides, as Ireti Kingibe said, the senators have their diners, away from the public eye where they handle issues with most ample time. That location wasn't enough for her, she had to go to the Senate behaving like a market women on heat.

Thanks for sharing

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the maximum suspension period supposed to be 14 days?

Look at this old case involving Omo-Agege:

The judge held that while the National Assembly had the power to discipline its erring , the reasons given by the Senate for Omo-Agage’s suspension was unconstitutional, adding that a legislator could not be suspended for more than 14 days.

Like I said some days ago

Antoeni:

Go receive some sense.

Victim of any purported sexual harassment should go to court and not use that against a clear case of legislative disobedience to rules and proceedings.

Even if well established,a case of sexual harassment can never be used to nullify or justify a clear case of legislative breaches.

A case of Sexual harassment outside the confines of the National Assembly,can be decided only in the court of law!

Na so we go remove incompetent Tinubu from Asso rock

Good riddance. The Nigerian senate is not a joke.

There was no iota of any shred of evidence to her allegation. It was a case of giving a dog a bad name, giving that people already hated Akpabio..and she thought she could ride on the public sentiment ..therefore if she throws sexual allegation into the mix, she will get away with it. Women and the "me too" mentality.

As she's leaving the senate today to embark on her six months suspension, she and her husband can arrange at the entrance gate,a kiss me,kiss you photo op for the road! Nonsense and Ingredients

Very good!! Bringing a prestigious institution like the Parliament into disrepute. Who does she think she is?

I wish someone could advise her properly and she listens to the advise.

mrvitalis:
U can't suspend a senator for more than 9 sitting days

Omo agege vs Senate
https://www.google.com/amp/s/punchng.com/court-nullifies-omo-ageges-suspension-by-senate/%3famp

This senators should read their own rule

Ndume was also suspended for 6 months in 2017 if memory serves me well.

This is misleading, the matter on the floor was not about sexual harassment but about flouting the rules of the senate about the sitting arrangement,it is wrong to glorify the inglorious.

There is no law against sexual harassment in Nigeria. There is a law against defilement and rape

Can police arrest a man who touched a lady because of a lady dressing? No

How do you prove sexual harassment in court? Natasha is a lawyer. She messed up

Cheap toto senator.. Bansa

tooth4tooth:
She's so rude and arrogant. You cannot continue to disrespect an institution like NA and expect a soft landing.

As if the CORRUPT institution deserve any form or respect from Nigerians.
