The Federal High Court in Abuja has issued an order restraining Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan (PDP, Kogi Central) and Senate President Godswill Akpabio from granting any media interviews while a case involving the female lawmaker remains before the court.
The directive was given by the newly assigned presiding judge, Justice Binta Nyako, during a hearing on the suit filed by Akpoti-Uduaghan seeking to halt the Senate’s planned investigation against her.
Justice Nyako emphasized that all parties and their legal representatives must refrain from making public comments or engaging with the media in any form until the matter is fully heard and determined.
“There should be no press interviews by any of the parties or counsel concerning this case. No live streaming, no social media commentary. There should be total media silence,” the judge stated.
The case was reassigned to Justice Nyako by the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice John Tsoho, following the withdrawal of Justice Obiora Egwuatu, who stepped down due to allegations of bias reportedly raised by Senate President Akpabio — the third defendant in the matter.
Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan had approached the court to stop the Senate Committee on Ethics and Public Petitions from initiating disciplinary action against her.

So madam Judge, no more Freedom of Speech. As the Wife of a very very corrupt Governor like Akpabio, hope you will not circumvent the rules. I do not trust you nor the Nigerian Judicial System

To be frank, I don't believe Natasha one bit. I feel she just wants to get back at the SP for something he did that pained her. She is just angry about it, that's all. Women normally don't to like men like that.

What is Akpabio afraid of. He has neither denied or accepted the allegations. His silence is not golden in this matter

So a woman (Natashia) has this much power in Nigeria.....gradual paradigm shift. Akpabio can silence Natashia's voice in Nigeria, but can't outside the country.

They will want to do anything to gag her. Is that Calabar man the only man in the house for her to point accusing finger at?

Akpabio is on NY Times this morning. This lady is ruining him permanently. As far as the world is concerned, Akpabio is a felon. He's holding on to the senate Presidency not realizing that he is finished. When Tinubu is done with him, he'll realize he lost the most important thing to a man - INTEGRITY
