In a dramatic turn of events, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has officially submitted a petition to the Senate, accusing Senate President Godswill Akpabio of sexual harassment and abuse of office.

The petition, which was formally presented before the legislative body, alleges that Akpabio used his position to exert undue pressure on Akpoti-Uduaghan and engaged in inappropriate conduct. The shocking accusation has sent ripples through Nigeria’s political landscape, igniting debates on ethics, power abuse, and gender rights within the Senate.

This latest development follows increasing tensions between the two lawmakers, with Akpoti-Uduaghan previously likening her ordeal to "a student being punished by a lecturer for refusing to sleep with him." Amid mounting public scrutiny, calls for a full-scale investigation into the allegations have intensified.

As pressure builds, the nation awaits Akpabio’s response and the Senate’s next course of action regarding the petition.
