The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has initiated legal action against Senate President Godswill Akpabio, challenging the suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.

SERAP argues that the suspension infringes on Akpoti-Uduaghan’s fundamental rights and leaves her constituents without representation in the legislative body.
