Senator Natasha files fresh petition against Akpabio, Sandra Duru

Senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has filed a fresh petition against Senate President Godswill Akpabio and Dr. Sandra Duru to the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun.

Natasha in her petition alleged criminal conspiracy, defamation, and cyber-related offenses.

According to the petition, Senator Akpabio and Dr. Duru are accused of orchestrating a malicious campaign against Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan.

The campaign allegedly involved defamation, cyber-stalking, and attempted assassination.

“The allegations against me are false and part of a conspiracy to undermine my work and reputation,” Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan stated.

“I fear for my safety and that of my family due to the harassment and intimidation.”

The petition claims Dr. Sandra Duru, posing as “Prof. Mgbeke,” initially presented herself as a supporter but later demanded payment for “framing narratives” and rallying digital support. When Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan declined, Dr. Duru allegedly launched a character assassination campaign.

Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan’s legal team said, “We believe the evidence will show a deliberate campaign to malign and endanger our client through false accusations.”

The petition also alleges Senator Akpabio had a motive to retaliate against Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan after she publicly accused him of sexual harassment in February 2025.
