On Monday, the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja barred the Senate Committee on Ethics and Privileges from probing the Senator representing Kogi Central Senatorial District, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.
The Court, which was presided over by Justice Obiora Egwuatu, also adjourned the suit filed by Akpoti-Uduaghan, until March 25, 2025.
New Telegraph had earlier reported that the Senate suspended Natasha for six months amid sexual harassment allegations against the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.
The Senate committee also announced the withdrawal of all her security details with no salary for the suspended months.
Following the development, Akpoti-Uduaghan approached the Federal High Court, seeking an order restraining the Senate Committee from investigating her.
