Security operatives have unsealed the office of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central, at the National Assembly.
The office, located in suite 2.05 of the Senate Wing, had been locked following her suspension from the red chamber earlier this year.
The development gives the Kogi senator access to her office and the premises of the National Assembly.
Akpoti-Uduaghan, a lawyer, was suspended for six months by the Senate over alleged breaches of its standing rules.
The suspension sparked outrage across the country, with the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Civil Society Organisations, and Afenifere demanding her reinstatement.
On July 4, the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja ruled that the suspension was excessive and unconstitutional.
Despite the judgment, the Senate insisted she could not resume her duties without a fresh resolution or a definitive court order.
With her office now reopened, Akpoti-Uduaghan may be on course to resume her legislative activities.
Her lawyers have argued that she is not a flight risk and remains innocent until proven guilty, while further court proceedings are awaited.
