Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan faces defamation charges from the Federal Government after television comments. The government filed case CR/297/25 at the FCT High Court on May 16, 2025. Officials claim she damaged someone's reputation through her public statements on air. Penal Code Section 391 covers the accusations against the Kogi Central lawmaker. She stands as the only defendant named in the court documents.
Natasha's lawyers say she filed twelve complaints between March and May that nobody answered. Her petitions covered cyberstalking, death threats, character attacks, and murder plots against her. Police forces and security agencies completely ignored all her requests for help. Lawyer Uju Nwoduwu signed a statement explaining the senator's legal troubles. The complaints remain unread and unprocessed after months of waiting.
Counter-charges from Senate President Godswill Akpabio and former Kogi Governor Yahaya Bello moved quickly through the system. Her legal team calls this treatment unfair and biased against their client. Some petitions described kidnapping attempts and assassination plots against her staff members. Natasha currently travels abroad for personal business, but received official notice about the charges. Her lawyers hope the justice system will treat her fairly as the case progresses.
