The lawmaker made the claim during a live Facebook broadcast on Tuesday morning.
According to her, she had planned to take some time off following the celebration of her second year in office, only to discover that her passport had been seized again.
She said, “Having completed the celebration of my second year, I decided to take a week off and my passport is being withheld again. The same thing happened.”
Akpoti-Uduaghan insisted that she had not committed any offence and that there was no court order authorising the seizure of her passport.
“I have committed no offense and there is no order from the court to seize my passport and deny me travelling,” she stated.
She further alleged that the last time such an incident occurred, she was informed that the directive came from the Senate President.
“The last time it happened, the officer in charge told us that the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, instructed them to withhold my passport and prevent me from travelling,” the senator claimed.
