The Nigerian Bar Association has urged the Senate to act honourably and allow the suspended senator for Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, to resume her duties.
The NBA President, Afam Osigwe (SAN), told The PUNCH on Wednesday that, notwithstanding the fact that the matter is before the courts, Akpoti-Uduaghan should be allowed to return to the Senate since her suspension period has elapsed.
Akpoti-Uduaghan was suspended on March 6, 2025, after the Senate adopted the report of its Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions, which found that she violated Senate rules by refusing to vacate her assigned seat during plenary.
The suspension stripped her of her salary, aides, and office privileges.
She challenged the suspension at the Federal High Court and subsequently appealed against the judgment delivered by Justice Binta Nyako.
