The Nigerian Bar Association and opposition parties have berated the red chamber for not giving Akpoti-Uduaghan ample time to present her sexual harassment complaint against the Senate President,Godswill Akpabio.
This was revealed by Natasha’s legal counsel,Victor
Giwa,while speaking to the media on Thursday,
after the Kogi lawmaker was suspended by the senate and walked out from the National Assembly complex.
Giwa said the Senate Committee on Ethics and Privileges acted in violation of a court order that allegedly restrained it from taking further action on the matter,pending the determination of a motion on notice.
The Kogi Central Senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan,will challenge in court the six-month suspension slammed on her following her face-off with the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, over seating arrangements in the red chamber.
The legal counsel to the Kogi lawmaker, Victor Giwa, dismissed the Senate resolution as a violation of a court order,saying ,
“The suspension is void, it cannot even take any effect. The suspension is illegal because there is a court order that restrained the Senate Committee on Ethics and Privileges from taking further action.
‘’The committee disobeyed a valid court order that was served on them, making a mockery of the chamber that is supposed to uphold the law.”
