Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan was briefly stopped by immigration officials at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on Thursday morning while attempting to board a flight to the United Kingdom.
The incident, which occurred on July 24, 2025, is coming amid heightened tensions between the senator and the leadership of the National Assembly. Although details remain sketchy, sources confirmed that she was later released and allowed to proceed with her travel plans.
It is unclear why she was initially blocked, but political watchers say the development may not be unconnected with recent disagreements within the legislative circle.
