BREAKING: Prof. Mgbeke Arrives Nigeria—Senator Natasha’s Case Takes New Turn

 



In a dramatic twist to the ongoing political saga, US-based Professor Mgbeke has arrived in Nigeria, poised to testify against Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan in court. The senator, representing Kogi Central, is currently embroiled in multiple legal battles, including a defamation suit and a suspension from the Senate. 


The Legal Storm Surrounding Senator Akpoti


Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan's troubles began after a heated exchange with Senate President Godswill Akpabio during a plenary session on February 20, 2025. The confrontation led to her suspension from the Senate for six months on grounds of alleged misconduct. Despite a court injunction initially halting the Senate's disciplinary actions, the suspension was enforced, stripping her of salary, office access, and security details.  


Defamation Suit Adds Fuel to the Fire


Compounding her challenges, Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan filed a ₦100 billion defamation lawsuit against Senate President Akpabio and his aide, Mfon Patrick. The suit alleges that defamatory statements were made against her on social media, causing significant harm to her reputation.  


Prof. Mgbeke's Anticipated Testimony


The arrival of Professor Mgbeke, a respected academic based in the United States, is expected to be a pivotal moment in the court proceedings. While details of his testimony remain confidential, sources suggest that his insights could significantly influence the outcome of the case. 


Court Proceedings Continue


The Federal High Court in Abuja has scheduled the next hearing for March 25, 2025. Both parties are expected to present their arguments, with Professor Mgbeke's testimony anticipated to be a highlight of the session.
