Senate Committee Recommends Six-Month Suspension for Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan

The Nigerian Senate is considering a six-month suspension for Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan following recommendations from its Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Code of Conduct.
According to the committee’s chairman, Senator Neda Imasuen, the Kogi Central lawmaker was found in violation of Senate rules, prompting the disciplinary action. If the recommendation is upheld, her suspension will take effect from March 6, 2025.
As part of the proposed sanctions, Senator Natasha’s office will be locked, and she will be barred from accessing the National Assembly premises for the duration of her suspension. Additionally, her salary and those of her legislative aides will be withheld. She will also be prohibited from representing Nigeria in any official capacity as a senator during the suspension period.
However, the committee suggested that she could submit a written apology for the Senate to reconsider her suspension.
This development follows Senator Natasha’s latest attempt to present a petition before the Senate, alleging sexual harassment by Senate President Godswill Akpabio. Unlike her previous attempt, this petition was signed by her constituents.
During Thursday’s plenary session, she was asked whether the matter was already before a court of law, to which she responded in the negative. Following standard procedure, the Senate directed her to formally submit the petition, which was then referred to the Ethics, Privileges, and Code of Conduct Committee for investigation. The committee has been given four weeks to conduct its probe and report back to the Senate.
This marks the second time Senator Natasha has raised allegations of harassment within the chamber, sparking concerns about the political implications of her possible suspension.

Police Restore Calm in Omu-Aran After Violence, Palace and Bank Attacks; Five Arrested

The Kwara State Police Command has restored order in Omu-Aran, Irepodun Local Government Area, following a wave of violent disturbances on May 25 and 26, 2025, sparked by the actions of unruly youths.

According to a statement released by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Adetoun Ejire-Adeyemi, and made available to Just Event Online TV, the unrest was triggered by the arrest of a suspected drug dealer and arms trafficker known as Azeez, also called “A-Z,” by the Anti-Kidnapping Squad.
Azeez was reportedly freed by a mob while being transported to the police station. The group later attempted to storm the station but were successfully repelled by officers. The mob then moved to the Olomu’s Palace, where they set a motorcycle belonging to the monarch’s police orderly ablaze.
The situation escalated on the second day as the mob attacked the Olomu Aperan Microfinance Bank, vandalizing vehicles, the bank’s signboard, CCTV system, and other assets.
Police have arrested five suspects in connection with the attacks. Staff of the affected bank were safely evacuated and taken to the police station for protection.
In response, the Commissioner of Police, CP Adekimi Ojo, has directed enhanced patrols and surveillance across the community to maintain peace. The public has been urged to remain calm and refrain from spreading misinformation while investigations are ongoing.

UPDATE: Real Reason for Sheikh Gumi’s Deportation from Saudi Arabia Uncovered

Controversial Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has been deported from Saudi Arabia and barred from participating in the 2025 Hajj pilgrimage—an action that has sparked widespread public reaction. Now, sources have revealed the reason behind the unexpected move.
According to reliable reports, Saudi authorities refused Gumi entry into Medina due to concerns over his alleged associations with groups involved in regional unrest in Nigeria. During routine immigration procedures, the cleric was reportedly questioned about his previous public statements and affiliations, particularly his consistent calls for negotiations and leniency toward armed factions in Northern Nigeria.
Sources claim Gumi was unable to provide responses that satisfied authorities, resulting in his immediate deportation—even though he held a valid Hajj visa. The incident has ignited intense discussions in Nigeria, raising questions about the potential impact on his public standing and influence.

JUST IN: Saudi Arabia Denies Sheikh Gumi Entry for Hajj, Deports Him to Nigeria

Saudi authorities have barred prominent Kaduna-based Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, from participating in the 2025 Hajj pilgrimage and have deported him back to Nigeria.

The cleric confirmed the development in a Facebook post on Monday, May 26, 2025, revealing that although he was granted a visa, he was denied entry into Medina where he intended to commence his Hajj rites.
“Despite being issued a visa, I was not permitted to enter Medina due to certain concerns linked to my political views,” Sheikh Gumi stated on his official Facebook page.
He also expressed appreciation to the Nigerian government, noting that officials have promised to engage Saudi authorities over the matter.
Sheikh Gumi was reportedly part of a group of religious scholars sponsored by the Nigerian Hajj Commission (NAHCON) for this year’s pilgrimage.
He arrived in Medina around 10:30 p.m. last Saturday aboard an Umza Air flight, accompanied by other clerics. However, immigration officials at the airport stopped him from proceeding into the country.
Following the deportation, Sheikh Gumi has since returned to Nigeria and resumed his daily activities, including teaching.
