US EditionRights lawyer cautions Akpabio's counsel over utterances on sexual harassment probe
- Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan accused Senate President Godswill Akpabio of sexual harassment on February 28, 2025, leading to her suspension from the Senate.
- The allegation followed contradictory evidence including Akpoti-Uduaghan’s December 9, 2023 social media post exalting Akpabio the day after the alleged harassment on December 8, 2023, which she later deleted.
- Senior Advocate Olisa Agbakoba demanded Akpoti-Uduaghan retract the allegations and clarify contradictions, highlighting her failure to respond to an earlier letter sent on April 14, 2025.
- Agbakoba highlighted that their initial correspondence had asked for an explanation regarding inconsistencies in the accusations made against their client, Akpabio, underscoring the importance of providing clear evidence and an accurate timeline.
- Legal experts cautioned that further public statements might risk reputational harm and that Akpoti-Uduaghan’s suspension exceeded Senate rules, while the dispute continues through courts and ethics channels.
