Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan ready for ‘legal bloodbath’ in sexual harassment allegations against Akpabio

By Kingston Magare
Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan is doubling down on her sexual harassment allegations against Senate president Godswill Akpabio.
According to her lawyer Victor Giwa she has evidence to back her claims and would be ready to provide such in Court as Ekaette Akpabio the wife of Senator Akpabio is threatening the Kogi Central representative in Senate with a N250billion lawsuit.
Akpoti-Uduaghan claimed on Friday that Senator Akpabio pestered her for sex, and when she refused, he became hostile to her in the Senator Chambers. Senator Akpabio is yet to personally respond to the allegations.
Speaking on Saturday Mr. Giwa said Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan is unwavering in her allegations and has “concrete evidence to substantiate her allegations.” He asked Mrs Akpabio to maintain her distance from the case, otherwise she would have a ‘bloody nose’ in the long run.
“Our client is not desirous of calling you out into the unfortunate saga concerning her allegations against the senate president and wishes that you restrain yourself from delving into the obscene circumstances,” Mr. Giwa said in a statement.
“While she has tolerated all the harassment from the senate president, she was constrained to reveal the unfortunate torture and victimisation which she has been going through in the red chambers under the hand of the senate president.
“Consequently, we would like to state that the allegations of our client are personal to the senate president, and our client believes the senate president has the capacity to defend himself and refute any of these allegations against him.
“Our client remains resolute to the defence of Nigerian women and as a family woman, she will continue to maintain our common heritage and family values.”
