Senate President Godswill Akpabio has instituted a ₦200 billion defamation suit against Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, alleging that she made false and damaging claims against him.
Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan confirmed on Thursday that she had received the court documents, adding that the development would give her the opportunity to “finally present my side in court.”
The case sets the stage for a major legal confrontation between the two lawmakers, a development that has already attracted significant public and political attention.
