Nigerian judge recuses himself from suspended senator's case amid impartiality questions.

Nigerian judge Obiora Egwuatu has recused himself from the case of suspended Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan after Senate President Godswill Akpabio questioned his impartiality. The case, which involved an interim order stopping disciplinary proceedings against Akpoti-Uduaghan, will now be reassigned to another judge. Meanwhile, a recall petition with over 250,000 signatures has been filed against Akpoti-Uduaghan, demanding her removal from the Senate.
