Natasha Vs Akpabio: Judge Recuses Self From Case

Justice Obiora Egwuatu of the Federal High Court in Abuja has recused himself from the case involving the suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan and Senate President Godswill Akpabio on Tuesday.

According to Justice Egwuatu when the court clerk announced the case, he said he was stepping aside over the petition written against him by Senator Akpabio questioning his impartiality in the case.

Recall that Justice Egwuatu had last week ruled in favour of the Senate’s application, reversing the court’s March 4 order, which had declared any action taken against Natasha during the suit’s pendency null and void.
