Tension as Security Operatives Block Sen. Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan from NASS

There was tension at the National Assembly on Tuesday as security operatives barred Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan from entering the complex.

The Kogi Central lawmaker, who was suspended from the Senate for six months, attempted to resume legislative duties following a court order directing her reinstatement. However, security personnel stationed at the gate stopped her convoy, refusing her entry despite the ruling.

Senator Natasha, seated in a black SUV, was denied access alongside another vehicle in front of hers carrying activist Aisha Yesufu. The standoff drew the attention of onlookers and supporters, who questioned why the judgment of the court was being disregarded.

The incident has sparked fresh debate over the enforcement of judicial orders by legislative authorities.
