The Senator alleged that the incident happened at Senator Akpabio’s country home in Akwa Ibom State, when she and her husband were invited to the birthday celebration of the Senate President.

Reports from Abuja indicate that at least three separate groups of pro-Akpabio protesters stormed the National Assembly complex on Tuesday, March 11, 2025, in a show of solidarity with the President of the Senate.

The demonstrators who were seen outside the entrance of the National Assembly complex, also backed the six-month suspension slammed on Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.
