Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has reacted after she was granted N50 million bail by an Abuja-based court.
The suspended Senator for Kogi Central is being prosecuted by the federal government for allegedly making a false claim that the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, and a former Governor of Kogi state, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, were behind a plot to assassinate her.
However, in a ruling delivered today, June 19, Justice Chizoba Orji of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, held that she found no reason to deny the defendant bail, saying there was sufficient evidence that she is willing to face her trial.
The court also rejected an application for the lawmaker to be remanded in prison custody pending the determination of the case against her.
Reacting afterwards, Natasha shared a photo she took today with her husband, High Chief Emmanuel Oritsejolomi Uduaghan.
She wrote in the caption: “Smile, king of my heart smile.
“The judge refused granting their wish and said you should take me home.
“How blessed I am. Thank you good people of Nigeria, Kogi Central and Kogi state. Senator Natasha H Akpoti Uduaghan.”
