Why I slammed N40bn suit against Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan – Akpabio
Senate President Chief Godswill Akpabio has clarified that the fresh persistence use of social media led to his bringing N40Bn defamation suit against Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
In a statement issued by his media office, the Senate President said contrary to the claims of Kogi state senator, the suit was instituted more than three months ago but was not made public because Natasha was allegedly evading service of the court summons.
Akpabio said that Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan had intensified making of grave and unsubstantiated accusations capable of inflicting severe reputational damage, hence, the court case as his constitutional right to seek legal redress.
The statement read in part “On 5 December 2025, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan again resorted to social media to claim incorrectly and misleadingly that His Excellency, the President of the Senate, Distinguished Senator Godswill Akpabio, had only just filed a multi-billion-naira defamation suit against her over her unfounded allegations of sexual misconduct.
“These allegations, as the public is well aware, have never been supported by a single shred of evidence before the Senate Committee or before any competent authority.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the facts are clear, verifiable, and already before the court.
“Following Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan’s grave and unsubstantiated accusations capable of inflicting severe reputational damage, Senator Akpabio exercised his constitutional right to seek legal redress.
‘The suit was filed over three months ago. Its progress was temporarily delayed by routine administrative processes and the normal judicial procedures.
“Upon the resumption of judicial activities on the file, several attempts were made by the court’s bailiff to personally serve Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan with the originating processes.
“Each attempt failed due to her deliberate evasion of service, as deposed to under oath in the bailiff’s affidavit now before the court. Only after these repeated evasions did the court, in November this year granted the application for substituted service.
“Her claim that the matter was “just filed” is therefore false, misleading, and intended to distort public understanding of the case.
“We reiterate that legal disputes are resolved in courtrooms, not through orchestrated narratives and staged outrage on social-media platforms.
“The online applause Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan habitually seeks cannot replace credible evidence, legal procedure, or judicial scrutiny.
“This behaviour is consistent with her pattern during her six-month Senate suspension, an entirely lawful disciplinary measure she sought to delegitimise through digital agitation, only to ultimately serve the suspension in full.
“It is time for Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan to present the “evidence” she claims to possess before a court of competent jurisdiction, rather than relying on sensationalised commentary designed solely to attract sympathy and obscure the facts.
“The law is guided by proof, procedure, and due process, not sentiment, not emotion, and certainly not social-media theatrics. She is advised to properly instruct her lawyers, file her defence, and finally provide the evidence she purports to have for the baseless allegations she has peddled over this matter.
“This is her golden opportunity. The public, the media, and the legal community now await her defence to the defamatory claims of the plaintiff”, the statement said.

The terrorists threatened to k!ll the victims if their family failed to pay N200 million ransom.
The abductors killed the priest before the ultimatum lapsed and later released a picture of him and his wife on his Facebook page.
A family member, Avril, confirmed the latest development on X while addressing journalist Rufai Oseni.
“Please keep pushing the news that Ven. Edwin Achi’s wife Sarah Achi is still in captivity. Their captors recently uploaded a picture of her and daughter, with a gun pointed at them. Their demands are incoherent at this point,” he wrote.
Posting a heart wrenching photo of the victims on Wednesday, he wrote: “This is not a country.”

Abdul, a skilled plaster-of-Paris (POP) artisan, had been contracted to work on a building, unaware that he was actually constructing his future home, the emotional revelation left him in tears of disbelief and gratitude.
In her words, she said:
“This particular house has a special story behind it, and the owner does not know it belongs to him. His name is Abdul Bambamba. He is actually an uncle to my children. I was married to his relative.
Even though the marriage failed, Abdul remained committed to me. He always cared for me and the children, even before I met my husband now. He has been a very special person to me.”
The gesture was more than just a gift; it was a recognition of years of loyalty and unwavering support. According to Senator Natasha, Abdul is more than an artisan, he is a family.
Even after her previous marriage ended, Abdul remained a steadfast presence, looking after her and her children through difficult times and significant milestones.
