Nigerian lawmakers have placed a suspension on a senator for six (6) months, after she submitted a petition alleging she had been harassed sexually by the Senate President.
Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan first made the accusations against Godswill Akpabio, one of the country’s top politicians, in an interview last Friday.
The ethics committee recommended Uduaghan’s suspension following the dismissal of her petition on procedural grounds, saying, she had ridiculed the upper chamber of the National Assembly.
Some Senators argued that her suspension be reduced to three (3) months, however, a majority voted to stay with the six (6) months suspension slammed on her by the ethics committee.
