Suspended Kogi Central senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has arrived the National Assembly complex to resume her duties.
Metrowatch earlier reported how security was beefed up at the complex over the suspended senator’s planned return.
The lawmaker’s supporters had converged at the entrance of the National Assembly complex waiting for her arrival.
Natasha had on Saturday vowed that she will resume sitting on Tuesday, July 22.
The senator cited a recent judgment by Justice Binta Nyako of the federal High Court judgment in Abuja to justify her position.
However, in a counter-statement released on Sunday, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Senator Yemi Adaramodu, dismissed the ruling claimed by the lawmaker.
Senator Yemi Adaramodu clarified that the court merely offered an “advisory opinion” and not a compulsory directive to the upper legislative chamber.
But the Kogi Central senator insisted on resuming her duties.
Earlier on Tuesday, a video making the rounds on social media showed increased presence of security personnel, including armed guards, at the entrance of the complex – apparently to prevent breakdown of law and order over Natasha’s return.
