Popular human rights lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN) has warned against any official probe by security agencies into Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s attendance at the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) meeting in New York following allegations by Senate President Godswill Akpabio that the Akpoti’s actions humiliated the government and people of Nigeria after she reported her suspension to the international body.

Falana said: “Finally, it is public knowledge that the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio had accused Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan of embarrassing the government and people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria by reporting her suspension by the senate to the Inter-Parliamentary Union.”

“Contrary to the jaundiced views of the senate leader, it is the official probe of the circumstances of her trip by security forces that will expose Nigeria to needless embarrassment and undeserved ridicule.”

“Therefore, the SSS and NIA may study the report of the investigation of our illegal travelling by the Sani Abacha military junta before embarking on the futile attempt to probe senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan for having the temerity to externalise the “internal affair of the senate.”

For those who don’t know, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan had accused Senate President Godswill Akpabio of sexually harassing her.
