Senate on Fire: Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan Submits Sexual Harassment Petition Against Akpabio | WATCH VIDEO

The Nigerian Senate has been thrown into fresh controversy as Kogi Central Senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, officially submitted a petition accusing Senate President Godswill Akpabio of sexual harassment and abuse of office.

The dramatic development unfolded on Wednesday during plenary when Akpoti-Uduaghan formally presented the petition against Akpabio, shaking the Red Chamber to its core. This comes just days after the Senate leadership had dismissed the allegations, claiming that no official complaint had been filed against Akpabio.

In a move that further fueled speculation, the Kogi senator Natasha arrived at the National Assembly complex in the company of her husband, adding more weight to the serious accusations.

Meanwhile, Abuja witnessed a wave of protests as demonstrators took to the streets demanding Akpabio's immediate resignation. The protests signal a growing public outcry over the allegations and the credibility crisis facing the Senate leadership.

With the Natasha scandal now officially tabled before the legislative body, all eyes are on the Senate to see whether it will launch a formal investigation or attempt to shield its embattled president. WATCH VIDEO BELOW:
