Senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has alleged that immigration officials at the airport prevented her from travelling abroad.
The lawmaker raised the alarm during a live broadcast on her Facebook page this Tuesday, accusing officials of withholding her passport without legal justification.
In the live video, Natasha said the incident occurred as she decided to take a week off to celebrate her second year in office.
Akpoti-Uduaghan also recalled a similar incident in which her passport was allegedly seized on the instruction of Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
However, neither Senate President Godswill Akpabio nor the Nigerian Immigration Service had responded to Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan’s allegations.
