The senate’s sergeant-at-arms has unsealed the office of Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, senator representing Kogi central, News360 Nigeria reports.
The office, located in suite 2.05 of the senate wing, has been under lock and key since the senator was suspended from the red chamber on March 6, 2025.
In a video shared on Tuesday, Alabi Adedeji, deputy director, sergeant-at-arms, could be seen removing the red seal on the office door.
“I, Alabi Adedeji, deputy director, sergeant-at-arms, hereby unseal the office. The office is hereby unsealed. Thank you,” Adedeji said in the 25-second clip.
It is, however, unclear if the development grants the lawmaker access to her office and the premises of the national assembly as the senate is yet to issue a resolution on the subject.
On September 9, the national assembly prevented Akpoti-Uduaghan from resuming legislative duties, insisting that her suspension is still a subject of litigation.
Akpoti-Uduaghan was suspended for six months by the senate over alleged breaches of its standing rules.
