Senate President Godswill Akpabio has filed a new lawsuit against suspended Kogi Central Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, accusing her of mocking him with a satirical apology on social media.
The suit, registered as case number CS/384/25 and dated 7 May, was filed at the Federal High Court in Abuja.
Akpabio is seeking a court order to compel Akpoti-Uduaghan to take down the viral post from all her social media platforms. He is also demanding a formal written apology published in at least two national newspapers, along with an affidavit confirming her compliance.
The lawsuit stems from a satirical post Akpoti-Uduaghan made on 27 April via her official Facebook page. In it, she sarcastically “apologized” for maintaining dignity and self-respect in the Senate, implying that under Akpabio’s leadership, success depended on compliance rather than competence. The post was widely shared and sparked a mix of public support and criticism.
Akpabio’s legal team, led by Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) Kehinde Ogunwumiju, argued that the senator’s post violated a 4 April court order prohibiting both parties from making public comments on the ongoing sexual harassment case between them.
The legal dispute between Akpabio and Akpoti-Uduaghan traces back to a heated exchange in February over seating arrangements in the Senate chamber. This altercation ultimately led to Akpoti-Uduaghan’s suspension in March, shortly after she accused Akpabio of sexual harassment.
