BREAKING: National Assembly unseals Natasha’s office
The National Assembly has unsealed the office of the Senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.
The office had been under lock and key since March 6, 2025, when the senator was suspended from the Red Chamber.
In a video shared on Tuesday, the Deputy Director of the Sergeant-at-Arms, Alabi Adedeji, was seen removing the red seal on the office door.
“I, Alabi Adedeji, Deputy Director, Sergeant-at-Arms, hereby unseal the office. The office is hereby unsealed. Thank you,” he said in the video.
CRYSTALNEWS understands that her office, located in suit 2.05 of the Senate Wing, was unsealed on Tuesday morning prior to resumption to enable Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan to be in the hallowed chamber upon resumption on 7th October, 2025.
The embattled lawmaker was, in March, handed a six-month suspension by the Senate, which also barred her from participating in all activities of the 10th Senate over alleged misconduct during her protest against the reassignment of her seat by Senate President Godswill Akpabio on February 20.
Akpoti-Uduaghan’s suspension ended in September 2025, but she was unable to resume duties due to ongoing legal disputes and opposition from the Senate leadership.
On July 4, the Federal High Court in Abuja ruled that the suspension was excessive and unconstitutional.
The senator had written to the upper chamber to notify it of her intention to resume duties after the expiration of her suspension, but the National Assembly rejected her request.
