US EditionNigeria: Akpoti-Uduaghan Petitions IGP Over Alleged Defamation By Akpabio, U.S.-Based Activist
- On May 15, 2025, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan submitted a formal petition requesting that Police Chief Kayode Egbetokun investigate an alleged coordinated campaign of defamation targeting her in Kogi Central, Nigeria.
- The petition claims that the coordinated campaign was masterminded by Senate President Godswill Akpabio in collaboration with Sandra Duru, a United States resident and activist known as Professor Mgbeke, as retaliation for Akpoti-Uduaghan’s accusations of sexual harassment and her subsequent suspension.
- It details a smear campaign through online broadcasts, including a May 1 Facebook Live by Duru alleging a false assassination plot and financial inducements, supported by voice recordings and call logs submitted for forensic examination.
- The petition characterizes the campaign as a criminal operation intended to provoke public animosity and hinder justice, calling for a comprehensive investigation to hold all responsible parties accountable.
- Akpoti-Uduaghan demands prosecution of all involved, immediate security for herself and witnesses, and highlights ongoing legal challenges to her Senate suspension with police yet to comment on the petition.
