Legit.ng recalled that the PDP senator recently had a heated argument with the Senate over sitting arrangement in the Upper Chamber, saying her seat was changed without her consent.

During the outburst, the senator alleged that she was being silenced because of her earlier argument against the Senate president and that she would no longer tolerate being silenced anymore.

Following the argument, the Senator was then referred to the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions, for a disciplinary action to be taken against her.

The committee was chaired by Edo South Senator Neda Imaseun from the Labour Party. They have been given a two-week ultimatum to report back on their findings.

Senator Natasha was referred to the Senate committee after the matter was put into a voice vote following the lawmakers' visit to the controversies surrounding the issue. The lawmaker had filed a N100.3 billion fundamental human rights suit against the Senate President.

Speaking on sexual harassment, Senator Natasha narrated that it all started in December 2023 when the Senate President hosted senators at his country home in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom state capital, and he decided to walk with her at his private residence. However, her husband joined them in the company but was walking behind them.

She narrated that her husband later asked her what the Senate president was telling her and she was reluctant to open up to him because her husband held Akpabio at a high esteem. However, her husband asked again when they were in bed and she resisted opening up to him, noting that the next day was her birthday.
