Embattled Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has found her way into the National Assembly complex in Abuja after initially being barred by security operatives stationed at the gate.
The Kogi Central lawmaker had earlier declared her intention to resume plenary following a Federal High Court judgment which ruled her suspension “unlawful and excessive.”
She is currently under a six-month suspension by the Senate.
Upon arrival at the National Assembly premises in a black SUV, Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan was halted at the entrance by security personnel. Her vehicle, along with that of rights activist Aisha Yesufu, who was accompanying her in solidarity, was denied access.
Moments later, the senator stepped out of her vehicle and proceeded to walk into the National Assembly on foot.
A video clip of the development shows her being flanked by her supporters.
