Suspended Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has petitioned the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi, to wade into the alleged attempt on her life by the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.

In a petition dated 15th May, 2025, Akpottl Uduaghan, who represents the Kogi Central Senatorial district, accused Akpabio of orchestrating a malicious campaign of criminal defamation, cyber-stalking, conspiracy, and attempted assassination against her.

Akpoti-Uduaghan, in the petition filed on her behalf by her counsel, Sen Ehiogie West-Idahosa, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), averred that the petition is supported by incontrovertible evidence from public broadcasts, witness testimonies, media reports, and expert analyses.

Akpoti-Uduaghan claimed that facts available to her demonstrate a deliberate retaliatory campaign by Senator Akpabio, using proxies and resources at his disposal, to harm her.

She called on the Minister to examine the statements and actions of third-party collaborators who publicly endorsed the defamatory broadcast against her to determine their knowledge of and participation in the conspiracy.

“We maintain that the actions against our client amount to a criminal enterprise violating multiple laws. We respectfully urge your service to painstakingly investigate the contents of this Petition and ensure that justice Is expeditiously dispensed to all who may be found wanting regardless of their status in the Nigerian society,” she submitted through her counsel, Idahosa.
