The Deputy Director of Sergeant at Arms at the National Assembly, Alabi Adedeji, unseals the office of Senator Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan, Tuesday 23rd September 2025.

The office was sealed on the 6th of March 2025 after being suspended by the senate for six months

The seal was placed following the Senate’s decision to suspend the Kogi Central senator for six months over alleged gross misconduct and violation of Senate rules.

It is, however, unclear on whose directive the seal was removed or whether the senator has been granted permission to resume work when the Senate reconvenes on October 7.

This development comes despite the Senate’s earlier position that Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan would not be allowed to return until her pending case against Senate President Godswill Akpabio is resolved in court.
