The Federal High Court in Abuja found Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central Senatorial District, guilty of contempt for a satirical apology she posted on Facebook on April 27 and fined her 5 million naira. The court also ruled that the Nigerian Senate exceeded its authority by suspending her for six months and ordered her immediate recall to the Senate. Following the ruling, the Senate set conditions for her reinstatement. Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan announced she would resume her legislative duties on Tuesday. The suspension had drawn criticism from civil society groups and former officials, including ex-Minister Obiageli Ezekwesili, who urged the Senate to rectify the situation. There are concerns about potential conflicts between the Senate leadership and the senator upon her return. Advocacy groups such as SERAP have called on the Senate to comply with the court order. Meanwhile, legal experts have demanded enforcement of court rulings related to Senate leadership matters.
