The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has stopped the Senate from proceeding with its scheduled public hearing on the alleged misconduct of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.
Natasha who represents Kogi Central had been invited for the hearing rescheduled to proceed on Wednesday, March 5 over her conduct at the Senate the week earlier when she accused Senate President Godswill Akpabio of victimising her by reallocating her seat.
She confronted Akpabio by subsequently accusing the president of the Senate of sexually harassing her, a development that subsequently reinvented the dialogue on the faceoff between the two of them.
Justice Obiora Egwuatu who granted the interim injunction among others ordered the National Assembly, Senate and the Senate Committee on Ethics to suspend the hearing scheduled for Wednesday.
The defendants including the Clerk of the National, clerk of the Senate and the Committee on Ethics are to show cause within 72 hours why an interlocutory injunction to stop the hearing should not be granted.
