The suspension of the senator representing Kogi Central in the National Assembly, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan on Thursday by the members of the Nigerian Senate following her sexual harrassment allegations against Senate President Godswill Akpabio, may seem rather harsh on the senator as many believe she is a victim of circumstances here.
In arriving at the decision to slam a six months suspension on Natasha, the lawmakers sidestepped the petition she filed and rather said she was suspended from the Red Chamber over alleged misconduct.
The decision of the senators was reached after considering and adopting a report presented by the Senate Committee on Ethics, Code of Conduct, and Public Petitions, presented by its Chairman, Senator Neda Imasuen, during plenary.
