Sexual Assault Allegations: Akpabio’s Wife Files N250bn Lawsuit Against Senator Natasha
Unoma Akpabio, wife of the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has filed a separate defamation and violation of fundamental human rights lawsuit against Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan at the Federal Capital Territory High Court, Abuja.
OSUN DEFENDER reports that Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan, who represents Kogi Central, on Friday, that her troubles in the Senate started following her refusal to have a sexual relationship with the Senate President.
Akpoti-Uduaghan who appeared on Arise Television’s Morning Show, accused Akpabio of sexually harassing her.
She claimed that some of her colleagues had warned her to accept the seat change because it was part of a plot against her.
In the first suit on fundamental rights violation (Suit No: CV/814/25), Mrs Akpabio accused the senator of making false and scandalous statements that caused emotional trauma for her and her children, leaving them in fear for their lives.
She asked the court to declare the statements a violation of her right to dignity under the Constitution and the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights.

Akpabio is also seeking ₦250 billion in compensation and a perpetual injunction to stop Akpoti-Uduaghan from making further damaging claims.
In a separate defamation Suit No: CV/816/25, Mrs Akpabio challenged the senator’s claim that her husband made sexual advances towards her.
She described the allegations as false, malicious, and damaging, saying they had brought her family into disrepute and public shame.
The Senate President’s wife asked the court to order Akpoti-Uduaghan to issue a public apology in two national newspapers, The Guardian and ThisDay, and pay ₦1 billion in damages.
“The allegations have caused untold pain and emotional trauma to me and my family,” Mrs. Akpabio said in the suit.
The court has yet to fix a date for the hearing of both suits.
