Senate President Godswill Akpabio has filed a fresh N200 billion defamation lawsuit against Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, who represents Kogi Central.

Akpoti-Uduaghan revealed the lawsuit in a Facebook post on Friday, where she attached the notice of the suit, which is marked FCT/HC/CV/3356/2025 and filed before Justice U. P. Kekemeke.

She stated that this development will now give her an opportunity to now present her account before the Senate Committee on Ethics and Privileges, which had previously declined to hear her complaint.

In the suit filed before the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Akpabio accuses the Kogi Central senator of making false, malicious, and injurious claims that portrayed him as a “sexual predator” and exposed him to public hatred, contempt, and ridicule.

The former Akwa Ibom State governor is seeking specific remedies, including monetary damages, public retractions, and nationwide broadcast apologies.

The court had previously granted an order for substituted service on November 6th after court bailiffs failed to serve Akpoti-Uduaghan directly.

Consequently, the legal documents were subsequently routed through the Clerk of the National Assembly.

Confirming receipt of the suit, Akpoti-Uduaghan said she is “ready for a full trial,” insisting the case now gives her the platform she was allegedly “denied in the Senate.”

Posting on Facebook and Instagram, she wrote, “I’m in receipt of the newly instituted N200bn suit against me by Senator Godswill Akpabio claiming defamation on sexual harassment.

“Now, I am glad that Akpabio has brought this up because the Senate Committee on Ethics and Privileges failed to grant me an audience on this issue, relying on the fact that Godswill Akpabio’s wife had instituted a defamatory case against me. Therefore they couldn’t attend to a matter already in court.

“Albeit, I couldn’t proceed to court because by senate rules, I must still present my case before the Ethics committee (same committee that recommended my illegal suspension).

“Alas, I now have a chance to prove how I was sexually harassed and how my refusal to give in to his demands unleashed a series of unprovoked and unprecedented attacks on my person. See you in court Godswill Akpabio.”
