A Federal High Court in Abuja has scheduled June 27 for judgment in the legal battle between Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan and Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
The case centres on Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s six-month suspension from the Senate, which she contends was unlawful.
Justice Binta Nyako, presiding over the case, set the date after both parties concluded their final submissions and adopted their written addresses.
The suit, filed by Natasha Akpoti, challenges the legality of her suspension, alleging that it was imposed without due process and in violation of her constitutional rights.
In addition to the suspension challenge, the court is also set to rule on contempt claims filed by both Natasha Akpoti and Akpabio.
These claims stem from allegations of misconduct and procedural irregularities during the disciplinary proceedings.
The outcome of this case is being closely watched, as it could have significant implications for the legislative process and the balance of power within the Senate.
Both parties have expressed confidence in their positions, and the judgment is anticipated to provide clarity on the legal standards governing Senate disciplinary actions.
As the court prepares to deliver its verdict on Senator Natasha Akpoti’s case, all eyes will be on the proceedings, with stakeholders eager to see how the judiciary addresses the complex issues raised in this high-profile case.
