Natasha Akpoti Speaks Out After Bail, Says Judge Ordered Her Husband to Take Her Home

Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has publicly responded following the court’s ruling to grant her bail in the amount of N50 million.

The suspended Senator representing Kogi Central is currently facing prosecution by the federal government for allegedly making a false assertion that Senate President Godswill Akpabio and former Kogi state Governor Alhaji Yahaya Bello were involved in a conspiracy to assassinate her.

However, in a ruling issued today, June 19, Justice Chizoba Orji of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) stated that she found no justification to deny the defendant bail, noting that there was adequate evidence indicating her willingness to confront her trial.

The court also dismissed a request for the lawmaker to be held in prison custody while awaiting the resolution of the case against her.

In her response, Natasha posted a photograph taken today with her husband, High Chief Emmanuel Oritsejolomi Uduaghan.

She wrote in the caption: “Smile, king of my heart smile.

“The judge refused granting their wish and said you should take me home.

“How blessed I am.

“Thank you good people of Nigeria, Kogi Central and Kogi state.

“Senator Natasha H Akpoti Uduaghan.”
