Sandra and Natasha<\/p>\n

\n
\n
Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has dismissed claims by United States-based Sandra Duru that she is in\u00a0 possession of evidence to disprove the allegations of sexual harassment against the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

Sandra had also claimed that she had evidence linking Natasha to sexual misconduct with a top government official.<\/p>\n

She accused the suspended Senator representing Kogi Central Senatorial District in a video that circulated widely online of complicity in covering up sexual harassment allegations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Sandra also vowed that\u00a0 she would release incriminating evidence to support her claims, further accusing Natasha of hypocrisy in the fight for women\u2019s rights.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
However, Natasha has dismissed the claims, saying they are \u201cbaseless and politically motivated.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
According to the embattled lawmaker:\u00a0 \u201cThese accusations are not only false but a deliberate attempt to tarnish my reputation. I remain committed to fighting for justice and gender equity.
\nLet the facts speak for themselves. I have nothing to hide.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
She challenged Duru to present whatever legitimate evidence she had claimed to have.<\/div>\n
