Members of civil society groups on Wednesday stormed the entrance of the National Assembly gate, demanding that Senate President Godswill Akpabio step down for proper investigation into Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s allegations.
The groups gathered at the assembly gate as early as 8 a.m. ahead of the resumption of plenary.
Some of their banners read, “Akpabio Must Go” and “Protect Women’s Rights”.
Last week, Akpoti-Uduaghan accused Akpabio of targeting her because she refused his sexual advances.
The allegation made on live TV followed controversy caused by a change in seating arrangements in the Senate on February 20.
