The Nigerian government has filed criminal charges against Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan following her public claims of an assassination plot against her on national television, News360 Nigeria reports.

The full details of the charges remain unclear, but one charge relates to statements she made during a live interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on April 3, 2025.

In the interview, Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan accused Senate President Godswill Akpabio and former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello of planning to have her killed.

According to a charge sheet obtained by SaharaReporters, the Federal Republic of Nigeria is listed as the complainant in a case filed before the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, with Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan as the sole defendant.

The government alleges that the senator committed an offence under Section 391 of the Penal Code Law, Cap 89, Laws of the Federation, 1990, for “making imputation knowing or having reason to believe that such imputation will harm the reputation of a person.” This offence is punishable under Section 392 of the same law.

During the interview, Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan said: “I am glad you did it that I am a lawyer, and even if I am not a lawyer, I am a sane individual, and I do stand by what I said. In respect to the meeting or discussion Akpabio had [with] Yahaya Bello that night to eliminate me. Just ask the Senate President why did he withdraw my security if not to make me vulnerable to attacks.”

She added, “Of all the senators, about 109, we all have different stories. I have been a high-profiled, vulnerable individual because of the nature of politics I have had since 2018. Very violent and dangerous. And I always have my security.”

“So stripping me of my security because I am suspended illegally, actually it just positions me before attacks.”

This was not the first time Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan raised concerns about threats to her life from powerful political figures. Weeks before the interview, at a homecoming rally in Kogi State, she alleged that Senate President Akpabio first reached out to Governor Ododo to recall her but, after Ododo declined, Akpabio turned to Yahaya Bello.

She claimed, “Akpabio told Yahaya Bello to kill me. Akpabio told him to make sure that killing me does not happen in Abuja. It should be done here. So it will seem as if the people killed me here. I didn’t make that public, but we did notify the police about it.”

These accusations come amid ongoing controversies within the Nigerian Senate, including allegations of sexual harassment, security intimidation, and suppression of dissent.

Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan had previously accused Senate President Akpabio of sexual harassment but was later suspended for six months on grounds of “misconduct” unrelated to her claims.

So wait how did FG suddenly start representing apkabio in court 😂.. this country will never cease to amaze me . Knowing you can never win FG in FG owned court . You better give up on this country ! You ! I mean you !

You can't win a war against witches 🧙‍♀️. Women's are at the top of the powers that control the secret places of this world

Natashism

Natashism: is an infection whose major symptom is the artistry of prostituting from one controversy to another without following any to the end or supplying evidence on claims made.

Supply evidence in the court of public opinion where trial was initiated by them. They didn't.

File a case in court and present evidence. No.

Okay, file evidence in senate petition. They filed affidavit.

What kind of law are they teaching?

The virus has caused a pandemic of endless drama.

Say NO to possession of Natashism.

All these could not have happened if she had simply moved to her seat.

But without authorization, she went to Interparliamentary Union and claimed to have ed as an independent with the insignia "Nigeria" boldly in front of her. For that alone, she must he punished. Her issue with Akpabio is a separate matter.

If she ed as an independent, she had no right to sit behind the "Nigeria" insignia without authorization. That way, she made herself a representative of the country, whereas she went there to peddle her issue with Akpabio.

That is treason.

Senate of confusion

Within Nairaland are 4 disciples of Natasha.

It could be the same person using 4 IDs.

They are/he is busy trying to change the narrative and revise the story.

We ask for only one thing: Let Natasha supply evidence or apologize for misleading the public.

FG always attending to stuffs that doesn’t matter

This lady don enter

FG wow. The woman really dealt with them

Modified:APC files criminal charges against Natasha Akpoti

If not for hate for Reno omokri and akpabio that is driving some people nuts, like seriously no sane person should have believed this Natasha lady.

With what she did to Reno omokri, just imagine if Reno omokri was in Nigeria at that time and they were in d same venue. She would have blackmail him and won.

Nigeria

I can see the downfall of this Lady.

A Woman of Influence doesn't behave like this.

Most Women high up there receive this advances and shove it aside like a chicken feather, cos it's so insignificant compared to what they are chasing.

Or what Lady haven't received either significan or insignificant sexual harassment before?

Later they'll be the one telling thier Husbands of how many Men have toasted them before they told Him. YES.

She just adds to the proof that Her gender don't know what they want.

He put his hand in my and pinched me suggestively.

ewo

This shows that the FG doesn't have work.

I knew it.
The hunger to be governor. Don drive this one mad

Despite all the contracts you and your husband Collected you never satisfy.

Next na to recall you properly. And your immunity Finish.


E b like say Natasha allowed element finish her small career .

Hope they will not stylishly send the woman to jail so..

Failed case by fg to further intimidate a senator for speaking out about her safety concerns especially if her security details were withdrawn.

Nonsense and ingredients,

Someone make a claim about her safety and the next thing is to persecuted her,

Who do us this thing

This lady is just so uneducated about the nitty gritty of the games she's playing

This case is looking more confusing every day.

Vickram:
Senate of confusion

Dey jonze. Don’t push your governors To wake up and take advantage.

Go and check the laws ed.

It’s the best and highest in nigeria history.

Leave tribalism and sentiments.

Omo

One thing is sure. She's not coming back to the senate.
Even if it takes INEC rigging, they won't allow her back.

She doesn't know you fight to live another day.

These men she's fighting are mini gods, and they have patriachial mindset.... Woman must not fight and defeat them

What is wrong with our government naa. Is it joblessness. What is Federal government business in all of this instead of the people she accused of whatever she has said.
We don't just have government no wonder they are dragging legs with Kanu's case.

There are more pressing national issues than all these Senator Natasha issues.

Therefore, FG should allow Senator Akpabio and Ex-Governor Yahaya Bello to file their litigation themselves if need be.
