Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project – SERAP has filed a lawsuit against the Senate President, GODSWILL AKPABIO over the failure to reverse the patently unlawful suspension of Senator NATASHA AKPOTI-UDUAGHAN.

AKPABIO is sued for himself and on behalf of all members of the Senate.

The Senate recently suspended Mrs AKPOTI-UDUAGHAN for six months. Her salary and allowances have also been withheld for the duration of the suspension, and she has been barred from identifying herself as a senator.

In the suit filed at the Federal High Court, Abuja, SERAP is seeking: an order of mandamus to direct and compel Sen. AKPABIO to rescind the unlawful suspension of Mrs NATASHA AKPOTI-UDUAGHAN, reinstate her, and fully restore all her legislative rights, entitlements, and privileges.
