Former Adamawa North Senator, Elisha Abbo has accused Senate President Godswill Akpabio of exposing suspended Kogi Central Senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan to be killed.
Abbo said the decision of the Senate President to order the withdrawal of Natasha’s security details exposed her to be killed.
The Senate under Akpabio’s leadership had suspended Natasha for six months over her inability to substantiate her sexual harassment allegations against the Senate President.
However, Abbo accused Akpabio of political bias and high handedness.
He spoke while featuring on Arise News programme, PrimeTime show on Wednesday night and that which was monitored by urban Express News Online
Abbo said: “In the case of Natasha, it took a different dimension.
“He sat like the emperor that he claims he is and said the woman should be suspended for six months, withdrew her security, stopped payment of her salary, barred her from being seen near the National Assembly building, and even ordered the Inspector General of Police not to provide her with security.
“In another way, he exposed her to be killed.
“When you withdraw somebody’s security— which is not right— that means you are exposing her to be killed.
“The IG realised that it was not a good thing to do because if tomorrow they hear that Natasha is killed, something will happen.
“In the 8th Senate, Akpabio verbally exchanged with the Senate President, Saraki and was not suspended.
