Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, the Senator representing Kogi Central Senatorial District, arrived at the Federal Territory High Court to defend herself in a case instituted against her by the Federal Government.

The Federal government is prosecuting Natasha in two courts over allegations of defamation against the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, and former governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello.

Natasha, who had accused the duo of planning to assassinate her, arrived the court along with her husband.

The suspended lawmaker had earlier told her supporters that she began to face trouble for her refusal to yield to sexual harassment.

“Remember, it all started because I said no to sexual harassment… and I’m so proud I did!,” she said.

“For my handsome, kindhearted and loving husband is more than enough for me.”

Oby Ezekwesili, a former Minister of Education, waded into the case, saying the arraignment of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan today by the Federal Government was a case against all reasonable Nigerian people.

In a post oh her X handle, Ezekwesili posted: “Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan. The Federal Government of @NigeriaGov Versus All Reasonable People of Nigerian.”

Recall that the Natasha’s home was on Tuesday attacked by gunmen, including a ritualist, who was arrested at the scene.

The Kogi State Police Command has also confirmed the arrest of one suspect in the incident.
