flag Nigeria's Court of Appeal upholds Senate's suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan for missing her seat and defying the Senate President, but voids the contempt charge, fine, and apology order due to procedural errors.

flag The Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal has upheld the Senate’s suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, ruling the Senate acted within its authority under its rules. flag The court affirmed the suspension stemming from her failure to sit in her assigned seat on February 20, 2025, and refusal to comply with the Senate President’s directive. flag While confirming the suspension, the court nullified the contempt charge, a ₦5 million fine, and a public apology order, citing procedural flaws in the original proceedings. flag The decision, issued in case CA/ABJ/CV/1107/2025, confirms the Senate’s disciplinary power but stresses the need for proper legal process in such matters.
