Drama erupted at the National Assembly on Tuesday, July 22, as security operatives blocked Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan from entering the complex—despite a court order mandating her reinstatement.
The senator, who was suspended for six months, had boldly declared she would resume duties following the judicial victory. But on arrival, her convoy was denied access. Refusing to back down, Natasha walked towards another gate with activist Aisha Yesufu by her side, drawing massive attention.
The incident sparked outrage, with supporters and Nigerians online demanding answers on why a valid court directive was being ignored.
