On July 4, 2025, Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja was reported to have ordered the Senate to reinstate the suspended Kogi Central Senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.
In her judgment, Justice Nyako found the six-month suspension imposed on the lawmaker by the Senate to be “excessive.”
The court was also reported to have imposed a ₦5 million fine on Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan for violating a previous court order that prohibited public statements about the suit.
