•Natasha escorted by activist Aisha Yesufu and others
There was mild drama at the National Assembly today as security personnel barred Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan from entering the complex.
The lawmaker, who was suspended for six months by the Senate, had vowed to resume legislative duties following a court ruling asking the Senate to recall her, reports Vanguard.
However, when her convoy arrived at the entrance, security officials denied her access. Senator Natasha, seated in a black vehicle, was stopped alongside a car ahead of her, which carried activist Aisha Yesufu.
The standoff intensified as some supporters began chanting “Push!” and tried to force their way through the security barricade.
Meanwhile, the embattled senator has vowed to take the matter to a higher court after consulting with her legal team.
