Sexual Harassment: ‘Stay Out. I’ve Concrete Evidence’ – Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan Warns Senate President’s Wife
Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central, has warned the wife of the Senate President, Mrs. Unoma Akpabio, not to involve herself in the ongoing sexual harassment and intimidation allegations she leveled against her husband, Godswill Akpabio.
On Friday, February 28, Senator Natasha made some damning allegations against Akpabio.
While speaking on Arise TV, she alleged that Akpabio has consistently maligned her because she refused to give into his numerous sexual advances.
Reacting, Mrs. Akpabio held a press conference in Abuja, dismissing the allegations as baseless and stated that her husband is disciplined and responsible.
She then filed multiple lawsuits against Senator Natasha over alleged defamatory comments and violation of fundamental human rights.
Responding to the lawsuit via a letter dated March 1, 2025, addressed to Mrs. Akpabio through her lawyer, Victor Giwa, Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan urged Mrs Akpabio to stay out of the matter.
The letter, titled ‘Stay Away from Sen. Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s Sexual Harassment and Intimidation Allegation Against Sen. President Godswill Akpabio; To Safeguard Your Sanity and That of Your Family,’ stressed that the allegations are against the Senate President and that he should be left to defend himself.
The letter in part reads:
“Our Client is not desirous of calling you out into the unfortunate saga concerning her allegations against the Senate President, and wishes that you restrain yourself from delving into the obscene circumstances.
While she has tolerated all the harassment from the Senate President, she was constrained to reveal the unfortunate torture and victimization which she has been going through in the red chambers under the hand of the Senate President.”
The Senator further asserted that she had concrete evidence to substantiate her claims and urged Mrs. Akpabio to allow her husband to address the allegations independently.
“Our client has concrete evidence to substantiate her allegations. We will suggest that you leave the defense of the allegations for the Senate President to maintain your sanity and that of your family,”
the letter added.
