Natasha Akpoti Reacts After Bail, Reveals Judge Asked Husband to Take Her Home

Suspended Kogi Central Senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has spoken out following her recent bail approval by a Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court, which set her bail at ₦50 million.

Akpoti-Uduaghan is currently standing trial over allegations made by the federal government, accusing her of falsely claiming that Senate President Godswill Akpabio and former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello conspired to assassinate her.

However, on Wednesday, June 19, Justice Chizoba Orji ruled that there was no valid reason to deny her bail, emphasizing that the defendant had demonstrated a willingness to face her trial. The judge also rejected the prosecution’s request to remand her in prison custody pending the outcome of the case.

Shortly after the ruling, Natasha shared a heartfelt photo with her husband, High Chief Emmanuel Oritsejolomi Uduaghan, expressing gratitude to her supporters.

In the caption, she wrote:

“Smile, king of my heart, smile.
The judge declined their request and instead asked you to take me home.
I feel so blessed.
Thank you, good people of Nigeria, Kogi Central, and Kogi State.
Senator Natasha H. Akpoti-Uduaghan.”
