I have solid evidence of Akpabio sexually harassing me; I’ll release it, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan vows
Kogi Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has vowed to release evidence of Senator Godswill Akpabio sexually harassing her at the right time.
Mrs Akpoti-Uduaghan disclosed this in an interview with Channels TV on Thursday night when told that Mr Akpabio said she has no evidence to back up her sexual harassment allegation against him.
“At the right time and at the right space, I will present the evidence that I have,” Mrs Akpoti-Uduaghan said.
Aniete Ekong, spokesperson for Mr Akpabio, could not be reached for comment on Mrs Akpoti-Uduaghan’s statement. A WhatsApp message sent to him was not replied to.
Mrs Akpoti-Uduaghan’s statement comes after the Independent National Electoral Commission dismissed the recall petition filed against her on Thursday.
The Kogi Central lawmaker was suspended from the Senate on February 28 after she accused Mr Akpabio of sexual harassment and abuse of office.
The Senate suspended her for six months, withheld her salaries, and withdrew her security detail, citing unruly behavior during plenary.
