“An injustice that will not be sustained” – Reactions as Nigerian women kick against Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s suspension

Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has described her suspension from the Red Chambers as “an injustice that will not be sustained”. 

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lawmaker was suspended for six months on Thursday after the Senate disciplinary committee found her guilty of breaching its rules in the wake of her sexual harassment allegations against Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
But a furious Senator Natasha faulted her suspension.

“This injustice would not stand,” the Kogi Central Senator said, vowing to continue the “pursuit for justice”.

Her suspension followed a recommendation by the Senate disciplinary committee which submitted its report to the lawmakers during plenary session on Thursday.
The committee probed allegations of sexual abuse and abuse of office against Senate President Godswill Akpabio.

According to the committee, the 45-year-old lawyer had breached the Senate’s rules and thus should be suspended for six months but Nigerian women online kicked against the suspension
