The lawmaker representing Kogi Central Senatorial District, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, was reportedly denied access to the National Assembly premises as she resumed plenary to carry out her legislative duties.
As gathered, Akpoti-Uduaghan was halted by the security personnel gathered at the NASS premises while she was making her way to the chamber accompanied by supporters including human rights activist, Aisha Yesufu.
The lawmaker who is serving a six-month suspension by the upper lawmaking body had vowed to resume sitting in the NASS chambers after a court verdict asking the Senate to recall her.
However, when Akpoti-Uduaghan attempted to resume plenary, her convoy, including a car carrying activist Yesufu, was reportedly stopped at the National Assembly gate.
Despite identifying herself and presenting her credentials, the senator, who later proceeded on foot with supporters, was allegedly denied entry into the premises.
