The Court of Appeal in Abuja has struck out two motions filed by Senate President Godswill Akpabio and imposed a ₦100,000 fine against him in favour of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.
The decision was delivered by a three-member panel led by Justice Hamman Barka on May 21, 2025, after Akpabio sought to withdraw his motions.
The motions, dated March 3 and March 25, 2025, with suit numbers CV/395/M1/2025 and CV/395/M2/2025, respectively, had Akpabio listed as the appellant.
Respondents in the matter included Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, the Clerk of the National Assembly, the Senate, and Senator Neda Imasuen, who chairs the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions. (TheNation)
