‘No Court Order, No Offence’: Akpoti-Uduaghan Protests Passport Seizure at Airport

The Senator representing Kogi Central Senatorial District, Sen. Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has alleged that her international passport was withheld.

Akpoti-Uduaghan alleged that she had been prevented from travelling.

The lawmaker made the allegation in a live Facebook broadcast on Tuesday morning.

According to her, “having completed the celebration of my second year, I decided to take a week off and my passport is being withheld again. The same thing happened.

“I have committed no offense and there is no order from the court to seize my passport and deny me traveling. The last time it happened, the officer in charge told us that the Senate President Godswill Akpabio instructed them to withhold my passport and prevent me from traveling”.

Akpoti-Uduaghan expressed frustration over what she described as repeated harassment and intimidation, urging authorities to intervene and end the “embarrassment.”

She later confirmed that the immigration officers eventually returned her passport, allowing her to continue her journey.
