The Federal Government has launched an investigation into the attendance of suspended Kogi Central Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan at the recent Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) meeting in New York, an event she claims has now put her at risk of arrest upon her return to Nigeria.

According to Premium Times, government sources revealed that Akpoti-Uduaghan attended the event without undergoing the required nomination process.

The Department of State Services (DSS) and the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) are reportedly leading the probe to determine how she gained access to the meeting and whether any individuals or organizations facilitated her participation.

Calls for an investigation intensified after Akpoti-Uduaghan’s speech at the IPU on March 11, where she alleged that she was being persecuted in Nigeria for rejecting sexual advances from Senate President Godswill Akpabio.

She also acknowledged that, following her suspension, her participation in the meeting was unauthorized.

Speaking with Premium Times on Sunday, Akpoti-Uduaghan claimed she had received indications that she might be arrested upon her return to Abuja.

“… I’m aware there are plans underway to have me arrested as soon as I arrive Abuja,” she said.

She further alleged that Nigerian officials attempted to remove her from the United Nations premises following her speech.

“The Senate President Akpabio sent three staff headed by the Chargé D’Affaires of the Nigerian embassy in New York to evacuate me from the United Nations premises right after my speech. I was rescued by parliamentarians from other countries and the security.”

Government sources stated that the investigation would focus on verifying whether she obtained the necessary credentials, whether external parties assisted her, and whether her statements misrepresented Nigeria’s interests.

Addressing how she was able to attend the IPU meeting despite not being an official delegate, Akpoti-Uduaghan explained:

“I registered online as a senator. The suspension does not remove my legitimacy as a senator. I registered online and got a pass.”

“I attended the same programme last year and was already on the mailing list. After I got a pass, I bought my own ticket and funded my trip and participation at the event.”

A male nurse in Germany has been accused of murdring nine helpless patients in a hospice ward so that he could have quieter shifts. The unnamed man, 44, is said to have tried to k!ll a further 34 patients between December 2023 and May 2024.  Prosecutors say the nurse injected his victims with massive overdoses of sedatives and painkillers in the palliative ward for the of the Rhein-Maas Klinikum in Wurselen in western Germany. Several victims, say prosecutors, had suffered several attempts on their lives and others were due to leave the ward after recovering from their conditions. Prosecutors, who are still investigating further claims, believe the case at Aachen Regional Court, which will start on 24th March, could be the biggest medical murdr trial ever heard in the country. A prosecution spokesman explained: “The nurse wanted to have quiet night shifts with little trouble from the patients.” The court will be told how the nurse carried out his murdr spree at the clinic, with investigators expecting more cases to emerge in the coming weeks, Hospital officials began to suspect the unexplained rapid de@th rate on the ward and called in police who exhumed the victims’ bodies and found unexpectedly high levels of sedatives. The nurse was arrested in July 2024 after suspicions grew around the unusual rise in patient de@ths and incidents during his shifts, and has been in custody ever since.  The trial has chilling similarities to the 2024 case of Berlin doctor Johannes M. accused of k!lling 10 patients but suspected of murd#ring up to 50 more for the “thrill of it”. The post Nurse murdrs 9 patients and attempts to k!ll dozens more after “overdosing victims to have a quieter nightshift” appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.

Tensions rise as Kogi Central insists on Akpoti-Uduaghan’s return to Senate

Constituents of Kogi Central Senatorial District have strongly rejected any move to recall their senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, following her suspension from the Nigerian Senate.

In a statement released on Monday, March 17, by Hon. Abdulrahaman Badamasiuy, coordinator of the Concerned Constituents of Kogi Central, the group condemned the suspension as illegal and a violation of their democratic rights.

They called on the Senate to immediately reverse its decision, arguing that it has deprived them of federal representation.

“Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan remains the one in whom we deposited our legitimacy as a senatorial constituency, and nobody can unscrupulously violate our democratic and constitutional rights,” the statement read.

The group emphasized that Akpoti-Uduaghan was overwhelmingly elected in the 2023 general elections to serve until 2027 and warned against any attempt to remove her through fraudulent means.

Among their key demands, they insisted on her immediate reinstatement and vowed to resist any recall efforts, which they believe are politically motivated.

They also urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Federal Government to intervene and ensure her safety.

“Let no one provoke us any further while we look forward to having our concerns addressed within the shortest possible time,” the statement concluded.
