Natasha accused Akpabio of an assassination plot
Senator Natasha recently accused Senate President Godswill Akpabio of hiring the services of the immediate past governor of Kogi state, Yahaya Bello, to assassinate her, following his sexual harassment allegation against the Senate president.
The Kogi senator has alleged that her challenges in the national assembly started when she started rejecting sexual advances from the Senate president. Her allegation has attracted local and international condemnation.
In addition, her latest allegation of an assassination plot has led to reactions and calls on the Inspector General of Police to investigate the matter. On the other hand, Akpabio and Yahaya Bello had petitioned the police boss to prosecute Natasha over the allegation.

Natasha reacted to Akpabio's petition
Reacting to the petition, Natasha urged the police boss to dismiss the petition and asked the Senate President to surrender himself for investigation and prove that her allegation was wrong. She claimed that the petition was to distract the security agents from deeper investigation.
The Kogi senator then insisted that the Senate president was being deliberate in distracting the security agencies from investigating him. She alleged that Akpabio remained a "principal suspect", should anything happened to her.
