Akpabio petitions IGP, demands Natasha’s prosecution over assassination allegation
Senate President Godswill Akpabio has petitioned Kayode Egbetokun, the inspector-general of police, over the assassination allegation levelled against him by Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, Kogi central senator.
Akpabio is seeking an immediate investigation and prosecution of Akpoti-Uduaghan under relevant laws for “criminal defamation, incitement, false accusation, and conduct likely to cause a breach of peace”.
On April 1, while addressing her supporters during a homecoming event in Kogi state, Akpoti-Uduaghan alleged that the senate president instructed Usman Ododo, governor of Kogi, and his predecessor, Yahaya Bello, to assassinate her.
In the petition addressed to Egbetokun, the senate president said the allegation was a “heinous lie” designed to tarnish his reputation and incite public unrest.
