Supporters of Senate President, Godswill Akpabio have berated Kogi lawmaker, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, over the ongoing crisis rocking the Red chamber.
INFORMATION NIGERIA reports that the demonstrators were spotted at the entrance of United Nations office in Abuja on Friday.
They displayed several banners that read; ‘We believe in actual victims of sexual harassment, not people who weaponise it’ and ‘The burden of proof lies with the accuser’.
The protesters challenged Senator Natasha to provide evidence of the alleged sexual harassment she accused Akpabio of.

Speaking on behalf the protesters at the UN in Abuja, the leader of the protesters, Irene Umoh, explained that the women’s group decided to petition the UN on Friday following the manner in which Akpoti-Uduaghan has been trying to play the victim on the international stage.
She said: “This is not the first time Senator Natasha has made serious allegations against a prominent figure. Such actions risk becoming a weapon she wields against men in power, undermining the core principles of our fight against sexual violence.
“As mothers and members of the Women for Change Vanguard, we are acutely aware of the implications of false accusations. Such claims not only harm the accused but also diminish the experiences of genuine survivors.
“We call on Senator Natasha to provide concrete evidence of her claims against Senator Godswill Akpabio. Should credible evidence be presented, we will stand firm in our commitment to ensuring that justice is served.”
