  The Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal on Monday, February 9, 2026, held that the Nigerian Senate acted within its constitutional powers in suspending the Kogi Central lawmaker, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan. A three-member panel of Justices of the Appellate Court unanimously ruled that it was within the powers of the Senate to have suspended Uduaghan for misconduct. The Court added that the Kogi lawmaker was unable to prove that parliamentary privilege or her constitutional rights were breached as a result of her suspension from the Senate. However, it vacated the contempt proceeding and the ₦5 million fine that was awarded against Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan over the satirical apology she made to the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio. More so, the appellate court, in its lead verdict that was delivered by Justice A. B. Muhammed, held that the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, was not wrong to have denied the Appellant, who was not on the official seat that was allotted to h...

Ahmed, speaking on Saturday during the Senate Committee on Health’s 2026 budget defence, said the late presentation of the victim made effective treatment difficult, despite the availability and administration of anti-snake venom. Reacting to reports circulating on social media, Ahmed dismissed claims that Nwangene was not treated with anti-venom upon arrival. He said, “She presented to our hospital over two hours after she was bitten by that cobra, and by that time, she had already started manifesting with some systemic envenomation. “Contrary to what we see on social media, that we didn’t have snake venom, two doses were promptly given. First dose was giv...
