A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, has restrained the Senate from going ahead with its scheduled public hearing on the alleged misconduct of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.
Justice Obiora Egwuatu, while granting the interim injunction among others, ordered the National Assembly, Senate and the Senate Committee on Ethics to suspend its hearing that was scheduled for Wednesday.
The defendants in the suit are, the Clerk to the National Assembly, Clerk of the Senate and the Committee on Ethics.
They were directed by the Court to show cause within 72 hours why an interlocutory injunction to stop the hearing should not be granted.
Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan was scheduled to appear before the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions which had rescheduled to proceed on Wednesday, March 5 over her alleged conduct at the Senate during which she accused the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio of victimising her by relocating her seat without the courtesy of informing her.
