Natasha speaks up about the gunmen’s attack on her family’s house.
Senator Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan has condemned the alleged attack by some unknown gunmen on her family’s house in Okehi local government area of Kogi state.
Akpoti, who is currently under suspension for six months from the Senate over a violation of rules, explained that the attackers appeared to be against her personality, but they were resisted by security operatives from the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) and local residents.
The struggling senator then called on the Inspector General of Police to reinstate her security following the incident. Earlier, it was reported that the armed men vandalized windows in her grandfather’s house, believing the Kogi Central Senator was present.
According sources, it is said that security operatives quickly responded and resisted the attackers. Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan, who confirmed the attack, said some gunmen invaded her family’s house on Tuesday, April 15, 2025.
She made this known in a press statement issued on Thursday, April 17, 2025.
However, she recently accused Senate President Godswill Akpabio of hiring the services of the immediate past governor of Kogi state, Yahaya Bello, to assassinate her, following his sexual harassment allegation against the Senate president. She has alleged that her challenges in the national assembly started when she started rejecting sexual advances from the Senate president. Her allegation has attracted local and international condemnation.
In addition, her latest allegation of an assassination plot has led to reactions and calls on the Inspector General of Police to investigate the matter. On the other hand, Akpabio and Yahaya Bello had petitioned the police boss to prosecute her over the allegation.
