Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed a suit filed against Senate President Godswill Akpabio, challenging the legality of the six-month suspension imposed on Kogi Central Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan over alleged misconduct.
The suit, filed by Ovavu Illiyasu and nine others, was dismissed by the judge on the grounds that the plaintiffs lacked locus standi (legal standing) to bring the matter before the court.
Marked FHC/ABJ/CS/654/2025, the suit contested the validity of the suspension of Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan for various reasons.
