Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan on Tuesday made good her vow to resume at the National Assembly but was denied entry.
Upon her arrival around noon, the Kogi Central lawmaker, who rode in a black car, was stopped by security operatives at the first gate of the National Assembly.
After some minutes, Senator Natasha alighted from her vehicle and walked into the National Assembly premises in Abuja, accompanied by her supporters, including activist Aisha Yesufu.
She was stopped again at the 2nd gate and asked to turn back. However, the senator and her supporters made their way past the checkpoint only to meet a locked gate.
Despite attempts to gain entry, Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan and her team of supporters were denied access.
They later left with the lawmaker expressing displeasure over the move. The Kogi lawmaker said she will consult her legal team to know the next steps. She vowed to resume once the Senate – expected to go for a two-month recess – resumes.
