Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan was briefly detained by immigration officials at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja on Thursday morning while trying to board a flight to the United Kingdom, a source within the immigration officers told Peak Newspaper Nigeria.
According to report, Senator Natasha who represents Kogi Central in the Senate, was reportedly stopped and told she could not travel because her name had been placed on a watch list — allegedly at the request of the leadership of the National Assembly.
The source said that the senator was traveling with her husband to attend the graduation ceremony of her stepson in the UK when immigration officers blocked her at the departure terminal.
