Appeal Court Nullifies ₦5 Million Contempt Fine Against Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan
The Court of Appeal has struck out the ₦5 million contempt fine imposed on Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan and set aside the judgment ordering her to apologise to the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio.
In its judgment, the appellate court held that the Senate acted within its powers when it suspended the lawmaker representing Kogi Central, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan for misconduct.
The three-member panel of Justices said it was satisfied that neither the Appellant’s parliamentary privilege nor her constitutional rights were breached as a result of her suspension from the Senate.
Reacting in a Facebook post on Monday, Senator Natasha wrote; “Facebook Apology to Akpabio: Appeal Court strikes out ₦5 million contempt fine against Senator Natasha, “sets aside the judgment to apologise to him too”.”
