The suspended Senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has refuted the allegations made against her by Sandra Duru, a Nigerian businesswoman based in the United Kingdom, also known as Prof Mgbeke.
Duru had claimed in a Thursday evening Facebook livestream that Senator Natasha falsely accused Senate President Godswill Akpabio of sexual harassment and attempted to enlist her in an anti-Akpabio media campaign with offers of naira and US dollars.
Duru further alleged that Senator Natasha’s ultimate goal was to remove Akpabio, thereby weakening President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s political standing.

To support her claims, Duru played audio recordings purported to be conversations between her and Senator Natasha.
In response, Senator Natasha issued a statement on Friday, dismissing Duru’s allegations as false and asserting that Duru was acting on behalf of Senate President Akpabio.
“I have carefully watched a livestream done by one Sandra C. Duru on Facebook, on May 1, 2025. The content of the livestream, including the voice attributed to me, is entirely untrue and has been manipulated to serve Sandra Duru’s ulterior motive of executing Senator Godswill Akpabio’s script,” Natasha said.
“To the best of my knowledge, those words are false and did not arise from any legitimate interaction involving me. I also recently discovered that the individual now identifying as Sandra Duru previously operated under the name Prof. Mgbeke on Facebook.”
Senator Natasha indicated that she would provide a more comprehensive response to the “unfounded allegations” at a later time.
