Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central, believes her suspension from the Nigerian Senate is a targeted effort to silence her and that she is being victimized.
She expressed this view during a BBC interview on Tuesday.
“I am being victimised. My suspension is a way to silence me,” she said.
In her interview, she shared details of an encounter with Senate President Akpabio at his residence.

“We were at his country home. He was taking me around his house. My husband was walking behind us. He held my hand.
“He then squeezed my hands in a very suggestive way. We, women, know what it means when a man squeezes our hands in a suggestive way.
“And he went, ‘Now that you’re in the Senate, I’ll make an opportunity for us to come here and have a good moment,’ you know, along that line.”
When questioned about potential advances from Akpabio within the Senate chamber, she shifted to describe a separate incident.
“There was a time when I rushed to work and forgot to wear my ring. There were about five senators there. He said, ‘Oh Natasha, you are not wearing your ring, is this an invitation to treat?’ You know, statements like this.”
