You enemy of progress it pained that the able woman is thriving not only as a senator, an entrepreneur, a lawyer and a activist is pained. Check if any from your generation combined both male and female comes near her achievements in life. Those who hate peoples achievements and supports evil can never progress in life.

Enemies of progress. May be you will be in the position of starting the case again. Prosecuting and jailing her.

stop hyperventilation and slow down to comprehend.

Your question should be directed to the OP instead of asking silly questions.

The woman was speaking to immigration officers boldly alleging that the order was from the senate president and that the president of Nigeria has ordered the AGF to stand off the case.

Now how then is her passport being seized when the police never arrested her and the court trying the case never gave her bail condition for her passport ?

If the courts and police did not, who did? Tell us.

Mind you not everyone who asks questions is a fan of Natasha. You have to show you have a working brain.

Lezzlie:
and the senate president has no powers to give orders to immigration to have her passport seized without a court order too

ArcSEMPECJ:
The target is on the terrorists, and from the look of things, APC led Federal Government has nothing to offer in that matter, so they should be annexed for the main concerned body to teach them, assist and help them do their work..
I think APC led Government should rather be rejoicing that what they planted and what they don't know how to remove will soon be removed by external bodies...

Right from the time Buhari told Good luck Government that he will make his government ungovernable, that's when Biko Haram crippled out, and looking at those in APC government now, they were there when Boko Haram stated in Bornu State inshort even a Governor...one couldn't speak anything against Boko Haram in any newspaper but claims tp love Nigeria but is now occupying the most important seat in Government...

So in one way or the other , why the APC led Government is disturbed is because there is no transparency in their fight against terrorism in Nigeria...

Ofunaofu:
Senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has revealed that President Bola Tinubu has ordered the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), Lateef Fagbemi, SAN, to withdraw all court cases filed against her.

The female lawmaker made the disclosure during a Facebook Live video on Tuesday morning, after she was allegedly prevented from travelling out of the country at the airport following what she described as a direct order from Senate President Godswill Akpabio to seize her international passport.

She explained that the President had already intervened in her case, saying there was no reason for her passport to be seized by Immigration officials.

“There was no order. Yes, I know I have two Federal Government cases against me, of which the President of Nigeria instructed the Attorney-General of the Federation to cancel, to withdraw the cases,” she stated.

“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu actually spoke to Godswill Akpabio to terminate all the cases against me because he admitted, he agreed that they were politically witch-hunting me with cases. So there is no reason why my passport should be withheld at the international airport. You have no right to that, madam.”

Visibly upset, the Kogi Central Senator showed the immigration officers in the background, claiming they had withheld her passport for more than 20 minutes.


“Is Godswill Akpabio so important? Why is he overruling boundaries?” she asked. “Godswill Akpabio, the Senate President, has instructed the Comptroller-General of Customs to deny me exit, to withhold my passport. This is wrong.”

Akpoti-Uduaghan said this was not the first time her travel had been restricted.

Recall that the Federal Government filed a fresh charge against Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan at the Federal High Court, Abuja, intensifying its legal battle against the female lawmaker. The new charge, marked FHC/ABJ/CR/195/25, was instituted on May 22, 2025, barely weeks after a similar charge, CR/297/25, was initially filed against her at the FCT High Court.

Both charges stemmed from allegations that Akpoti-Uduaghan made statements capable of harming the reputations of Senate President Akpabio and former Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello.

I’ve been pushing legislation to designate Nigeria a CPC and to impose sanctions on the Nigerian officials responsible.

Thank you to President Trump for his leadership in imposing the designation, and more broadly, for fighting to stop the murder of Christians in Nigeria.

Mynd44:
Thats the thing really. No one is actually saying it is the FG that is doing this madness, but there are powerful state and non-state actors acting independently giving subtle support and turning the other way while madness happens. These people are those who are giving the killers the confidence to do more.

If these people are taken out of the picture, the crimes will greatly reduce.

Pedrop:
China is known to be a communist state. USA a Christian state. Both don't kill other faithfuls like you do in your country.


Is Nigeria an Islamic or Christian nation ? Why do nothing about the killings going on for the past 20 years yet you claim sovereignty ?


You would rather have the killings happening than have someone stop it just because you are a sovereign nation.

Sovereign my foot.

People dey take this lightly, thinking that they will stand n fight.....Can they fight US? US will also push their allies in NATO into any attack of terrorists. They have been doing the diplomatic under ground work, preparing and gathering satellite images to boost their decisions while here some are shouting ," let them come !", empty handed, thinking China will be involved. China can't stop what US wants to do, they can't......

TONYE001:
No, I am not forcing my view on Sharia on Muslims - or anyone. I'm only speaking for Christians unjustly being forced to participate in Sharia business. I'm only speaking for Christians that have been killed because of blasphemy. I'm speaking for Christians that continue to live in fear in the north. "They will eventually decide to abolish it" sound like "Christians should continue to be killed until their killers eventually decide to stop killing them in the name of blasphemy and other guise...even if this takes a century."

I totally agree with you: we must exercise religious tolerance. I totally agree.

Totally agree with your third paragraph. But to add, the government should put out a statement banning the Sharia court from inviting or involving non-Muslims in their business...not just providing legal services for them. As a matter of fact, heavy legal implications should befall any Sharia agent that attempts to invite non-Muslims to its court. The FGN must speak out on the matter, now. Why has the government been silent? Why? Very recently, a Christian Igbo man's property was forcefully taken by a Sharia court. It trended across a number of online platforms - including Nairaland. Did you read any statement from the FGN? I didn't. Should this be so?

Christians should relocate down south, you say. Do you imply that a Christian whose ancestral land is in the North Central (eg, the people of Yelwata) should pack their stuff and travel down south and live as refugees? In their absence, who would take over their lands, graze their fields, acquire their properties? The bandits? Isn't this the conqueror mentality I mentioned earlier? This appears to be the aim of the Fulani bandits. They chase victims away from their villages, take over their lands and do as they please.

Sharia has been a threat, and it is still a threat. You and I may not be able to stop Sharia. It is the government's responsibility. Let's just continue to pray and hope that the government's failure to do something about Sharia doesn't amount to a bigger problem in the future.

America gives more than intelligence and trade to Nigeria. As recent as 2023, the USA gave approximately $1.02 billion in aid to Nigeria. Regarding Trump's statement: let's see how events unfold and how other nations will react to it.

Lastly, you did not answer the questions in my last paragraph.

TONYE001:
Thank you for your feedback. Find my reply below, please.

1. Sharia is an age-old practice, true. But what is the essence of civilization? How many age-old practices have been thrown away? Killing of twins, cannibalism, slave trade, etc. As the tides of growth approach a civilization, the expectation is that it will wash away harmful practices while reinforcing positive values thereby preserving a people's heritage. Dubai, for example, does not stone to death/kill because of blasphemy. In Singapore, those found GUILTY of blasphemy can be imprisoned for up to a year. The other Muslim nations are dropping off some of these senseless practices but in Nigeria (like most black societies), we blindly and foolishly bind ourselves to [evil] things.

2. You noted that northern states have passed Sharia into law. But, should a country have 2 constitutions? As a matter of fact, should Sharia apply to non-Muslims? Available Nigerian literature on religion strongly opine that it shouldn't. The Nigerian 1999 Constitution is not in support of the application of Sharia to non-Muslims. Why, then, should a Christian be STONED TO DEATH or BEHEADED because of blasphemy? Are you aware that Sharia and its blasphemy law is weaponized and used as a tool against non-Muslims like Christians? In one BBC report (2018), Blasphemy Law was noted to have been used as a tool against Christians. Do you realize that once one Muslim raises an alarm that an individual (usually a non-Muslim) has blasphemed against the religion, without any hearing or other formal procedures, that poor individual would be stoned to death or have his head CHOPPED OFF? I deliberately did not use "behead" so readers will get the weight of the situation. Does this even make sense?

Let's see what the Nigerian Constitution prescribes for blasphemy. Under Section 204 of the Criminal Code, the punishment for blasphemy is 2 years imprisonment. But the BLOOD-THIRSTY Sharia people would rather have a life for this. So, is the Sharia Law superior to the Nigerian Constitution? Does this even make sense? Up north, Christians continue to live in fear and caution, praying that nobody raises a blasphemy alarm against them as they know that if this were to happen, in a matter of minutes or a few hours, they may be KILLED, just like that! Examples: Deborah, etc. Quite recently, a food seller in Niger State was LYNCHED for blasphemy. Now, did these people even have a chance in a reputable court? No, they were just killed.

3. I (and other Christian minorities) should not be responsible for stopping Sharia. The government, empowered by common sense and the Constitution, should ensure that this Sharia situation is looked into. If we don't do anything about it now, it just may come and swallow us all in the future. They are tactfully injecting Sharia down south. They call it all sorts of names, claiming that it'll only apply to Muslims. But is this the situation in the north? Absolutely no! Once accepted, in the coming years, you and I may begin to read of similar northern Sharia tales in the south. Conquest mentality at play! "Conquer the land" appears to be the agenda of these people.

To your question: yes and no. Sharia has always been a threat, the killing of Christians it has resulted to has caused uproars; one day, the momentum of this uproar may destabilize the country. This is the kind of thinking the DSS should entertain. But, true, immediately, Sharia's threat may not be up to the scale of banditry and all that, but it somehow empowers it. This is why something should be done hastily about it.

4. You surely cannot imagine the scale of military aid (in terms of technology and finances) Nigeria has enjoyed from the USA! But, what have we done with it all? Insecurity continues to thrive. Corruption is the order of the day. Terrorists are forgiven and allegedly allowed to roam the streets. What happens to the lives and families that have been destroyed? We see clearly that the government lacks the political will to tackle insecurity, especially as it occurs in the north. If you were the USA, would you continue to sponsor Nigeria? If you have a relative that constantly comes to you for funds and all, and he wastes your money away, would you continue to provide funds to this person?

Importantly, the USA did not threaten Nigeria, or its government. A threat would be a statement noting an attack on the country, its government and all that. This is what Israel and Iran did against each other - for example. Trump only said he would address these TERRORISTS. His words should not be twisted.

Let me conclude by asking: what would you have wished for if you were in the north and have lost your relatives to Fulani bandits? Would you continue to hope on the Nigerian military? Can you imagine how painful it will be if you see a bandit that claimed the lives of your loved one on TV, brandishing AK-47, laughing and celebrating after having a peace-meeting with the state government? That is, the killer of your loved ones have been BEGGED by the government to drop their arms....and they can now walk freely...

It is a complex situation.

May God continue to keep us all safe.

May He give us the right leaders.

Amen.

TONYE001:
Yes, Sharia Law is part of the problem. Isn't it stupid, barbaric, senseless and foolish to KILL a HUMAN BEING in the most brutal possible way (stone to death) because of blasphemy....that sometimes are not proven?

And, why should a country have two laws? Why? The other day, a Sharia court STOLE the property of a Christian Igbo man. Not too long ago, the Sharia people decided to extend their tentacles down South.

Q country should have only one constitution, not 2. Sharia should be abolished.

Must the President of Nigeria go for the meeting? He can send representatives since the 🇺🇸USA President, Donald Trump, would also not be at the meeting.

There is a policy of reciprocity in diplomatic relations. He can send a team of Vice President, Ministers(Foreign Affairs), National Security Advisor (NSA) and special assistants.

Simple.

Eriokanmi:
Nigeria is a sovereign state yes, but under a UN treaty, unleasging insecurity against the nation is an action against the world. America or any nation can't just enter Nigeria and make a move for a regime change.

America is acting based on the unabated insecurity in the land which affects everyone, including us citizens, European citizens, Asia citizens and all others living in Nigeria. Im sure US isn't coming to kill Muslims or wipe out Islamic religion. They know their target,those denigrating Islam by hiding under the religion to attack others. Islam means peace. Im always disturbed when I see the name Islamist terrorists in the news. Its not cool and there are bad eggs giving the religion a bad name. They need to be taken off.

Im sure the usa knows much more than we thing.

YES, I wish the security agencies see this. Let them come and arrest me for treason and treachery! I'm only being factual and speaking the truth. If I'm labeled as guilty of anything, then it'd be for calling out evil for what it is- the evil this govt is unleashing on Christians and Nigerians alike. There has to be an end to it.

engrelvis:
Even your president tweets in the past( before he came to power) clearly shows he knew christains are being slaughtered. Same with Fani kayode and other prominent Nigerians. Sometimes when bandits hijack cars they will tell all Muslims to leave. Those who r Christian's are March into the forest to be executed. Nobody is saying Muslims are not being killed but in most cases na dem dem
