Unoma Akpabio, the wife of the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has filed separate lawsuits over alleged defamation and violation of fundamental human rights against Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan at the Federal Capital Territory High Court, Abuja.
This follows recent claims by Akpoti-Uduaghan, who represents Kogi Central, that she was sexually harrassed by Akpabio.
In the first suit on fundamental rights violation (Suit No: CV/814/25), Mrs Akpabio accused the senator of making false and scandalous statements that caused emotional trauma for her and her children, leaving them in fear for their lives.
She asked the court to declare the statements a violation of her right to dignity under the Constitution and the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights.
Akpabio is also seeking ₦250 billion in compensation and a perpetual injunction to stop Akpoti-Uduaghan from making further damaging claims.
In a separate defamation Suit No: CV/816/25, Mrs Akpabio challenged the senator’s claim that her husband made sexual advances towards her.
She described the allegations as false, malicious, and damaging, saying they had brought her family into disrepute and public shame.
