A dramatic twist has emerged in the impending suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan as a court has granted an interim order stopping the Ethics Committee from sitting on the matter.

The development comes just as the Ethics Committee was preparing to convene and indefinitely suspend Senator Natasha.

The interim court order has effectively halted the committee’s proceedings pending further review.

Court restrains senate from conducting disciplinary proceedings against Natasha Akpotii

The federal high court in Abuja has restrained the senate committee on ethics, privileges, and public petitions from conducting disciplinary proceedings against Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.

Obiora Egwuatu, the presiding judge, gave the order on Tuesday following an ex parte application filed by counsels to Akpoti-Uduaghan, the senator representing Kogi central.

Akpoti-Uduaghan had been invited to appear before the disciplinary committee following an altercation with Senate President Godswill Akpabio on February 20.

Can the court do that?

yes

Clevite:
No Court has the power to stop the Senate, the House of Representatives or any sub-group thereof from performing any of their Constitutional duties. You can only go to court to challenge the outcome or result of such duty.

Natasha is digging her hole deeper than it is.
