Dear Federal Government,
On behalf of the appreciative citizens of Nigeria, we say thank you for filing a prosecution against Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.
We were so excited today, 22nd May 2025, when we read about it on one of the most reliable online newspapers, Cable newspaper: https://www.thecable.ng/just-in-akpabio-yahaya-bello-to-testify-as-fg-files-criminal-charge-against-natasha-akpoti/
We are so very happy about this development, which we wish should have happened earlier.
Had it been it happened earlier, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan would not have had the opportunity to be granting all those interviews and social media appearances such as that her stupid SATIRICAL LETTER OF APOLOGY!!!
Just because someone allegedly held her hands to show her round his house, she is alleging sexual harassment!!!
We pray that she is convicted and sent to prison (correctional centre) where she would witness first-hand the real meaning of sexual harassment from her fellow inmates!!!
Just because they warned her that the floor/hallowed chambers of the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is not a place for her to be “pan-caking her face” and wearing all those “transparent dresses”, she took offence!!!
As much as we are happy with the prosecution of Senator Natasha, we are not happy that you have decided to call only two witnesses, namely the WHITE LION and the UNCOMMON TRANSFORMER ELEPHANT.
The problem that we envisage is that would White Lion have the time to attend since he is already booked by the EFCC for court appearances in another federal court?
Also, the UNCOMMON TRANSFORMER has a very busy schedule during all the plenary and Constituency project visits, would he be able to testify when invited?
The jungle is not made up of only these two animals. What about the Senator that said that: Senator Natasha is not even pretty enough?
He ought to come and give testimony since he happens to know a lot more about her and the number of husbands and her matrimonial affairs than even her husband!!!
What about the two Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SAN) who were recently cited for Contempt of Court by the Federal High Court Abuja?
One of them has video evidence that he obtained from FACEBOOK about how Senator Natasha is guilty of attempting to bribe a USA-based Nigerian to fabricate evidence to support her false allegations against the UNCOMMON TRANSFORMER!!!
The other SAN held a press conference wherein he invited her to come and submit evidence to substantiate her allegations, even though the proper forum is a court of law!!!
We are also surprised and not pleased that you have only charged her with minimal offences under the Penal Code.
We were expecting more charges under the popular Section 24 of the Cybercrimes Act, 2024 (as amended)!!!
What about the offence of disturbing public peace and vagrancy, considering how she has been gallivanting from Nigeria to the United States of America (USA) and all over to grant interviews!!!
Why didn’t you add a charge for seizure of her international passport (s)? so that she would not run away, because we hear that she has travelled again!!!
More importantly, what about that her lawyer that calls himself a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) that had the audacity to write a letter dated 15th May 2025. The said letter was addressed to the Hon. Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) asking the AGF to prosecute a whole number 3!!!
Why was his name not added to the list of accused persons?
Well let us not complain too much, we are happy that you even at long last files this lawsuit against this woman that has been disturbing the fragile peace of Nigeria ever since.
Once again, on behalf of appreciative Nigerians, we say well done, you are doing great!!!
Yours faithfully,
Dr. Tonye Clinton Jaja,
