We may not be hearing the last of the sexual harassment imbroglio rocking the Nigerian senate anytime soon as the allegations by Senator Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan against Senate President Godswill and her suspension from the Red Chamber take a new twist.
This is as the scandal take on a global dimension following the decision of the suspended Kogi Senator to seek redress and justice from an international arbiter.
Senator Natasha decided to take her case to the United Nation on Tuesday where she underscored the danger her suspension from the Senate portends for women representation in politics.
She spoke at the Women in Parliament session held at the Inter-Parliamentary Union Meeting (IPU) at the United Nations in New York.
In her address, Senator Natasha seeks justice and the intervention of global democratic institutions.
The lawmaker is asking for justice over what she described as injustice meted out to her. Senator Natasha described her suspension from the Senate as “illegal”.
After her speech, she expressed worry about her security. The Kogi Central lawmaker claimed there are indications that she may be held against her will in New York for speaking up on the issue at the global event by “the powers that be” from Nigeria.
