The Nigerian Senator brought a lawsuit from the government because of claims on murder

The Nigerian Senator told the BBC that she only learned that the government is suing her “on the news” and that she was “shocked” by the action taken against her.

The government has indicted slander against Natasha Akpoti-Udwagan after she has accused one of the country’s best politicians for thinking of killing her.

In April, Akpoti-Uduaghan claims that Senate President Godsul Akpaabio and former state governor Yahaya Bell want to “remove” her. They both denied this accusation.

Previously, she accused Akpabio of sexual harassment, an claim that he also denied.

After learning of the accusations against her, Akpoti-Kuduaghan said to the BBC: “I’m actually shocked. My first reaction when I read that it was out of shock because I hadn’t served (with documents) so far. I had to read it in the news.”

The BBC has asked the Nigeria government for comment.

In the accusation sheet seen by the BBC, Nigeria’s Attorney General referred to a live interview broadcast by Nigeria’s channel television last month.

Akpoti-Udugan claims in the interview that there are “discussions that Akpabio had with Yahaya Belo … to eliminate me.”

The Prosecutor General stated that this statement and others made in the same broadcast could harm the reputation of Belo and Akpabio.

But Akpoti-Udowagan stands with her claim. She said she even went to the police with the accusation that Akpabio and Belo were a threat to her life.

“Do you understand a twist?

“Instead, it is the president of the Senate and (the former) governor of the governor Yahaya Belo, who slanders me, which he is visiting.”

Akpoti-Udugan said the accusations were an attempt to “intimidate” her and make her “fall” after she accused Akabio of sexual harassment in February.

“This is sick that is normalized in society – sexual harassment. But here I am talking about it … It was my first crime. Natasha should not talk about it. I guess I wear it as a woman,” she told the BBC.

The fees are marked by the most turn in a row, which has absorbed Nigeria, raising questions about gender equality in the social conservative nation.

Akpoti-Nuaghan is one of only four women from 109 senators.

After accusing Akabio of sexual harassment, she was stopped by the Senate for six months without pay.

The Senate Ethics Committee said the suspension was for its “uneducated and destructive” behavior as the Senate discusses its allegations.

However, Akpoti-Uduagan and her supporters claim that her committee was directed to her because of the allegations she made against the chairman of the Senate.

No date has been set to appear in court.
