A Federal High Court in Lokoja, Kogi State, has restrained the Independent National Electoral Commission from receiving or acting on any petition seeking to recall the suspended senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.
Akpoti-Uduaghan who was suspended for misconduct after accusing the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, of sexual harassment, has been facing recall threats from her constituents in the last few days.
The push to recall the lawmaker intensified on Thursday, with more groups in her constituency throwing their weight behind the process.
However, some of her constituents approached the Federal High Court with an ex-parte application for interim injunction supported by an affidavit of extreme urgency along with other court processes sworn to by one Anebe Jacob Ogirima for himself and four others who are registered voters and constituents of Kogi Central Senatorial District.
