A Federal High Court in Abuja has restrained the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions from conducting a disciplinary hearing in the feud between the Senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan and Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
Justice Obiora Egwuatu, gave the order on Tuesday following an ex parte application filed by Akpoti-Uduaghan’s counsel.
Natasha had on February 20 clashed with Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, over seat allocation during plenary.
She had rejected her assigned seat, defying Akpabio’s order and repeatedly raising a point of order despite being overruled.
Her action was later referred to the ethics committee for disciplinary review.
The committee, which was expected to report back to the senate, had scheduled today for hearing of the matter.
