A coalition of Nigerian youth groups has condemned what he described as a desperate plot to imprison the suspended senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.
The group declared that the attempt of the federal government lawyer that the senator goes back during his recent appearance in the Court “speaks a lot.”
It will be remembered that shortly after she entered a plea without a partner, the federal government lawyer, David Kaswe, urged Judge Chisoba Oji to remember her again to the determination of the position.
However, this request was opposed by Senator Natasha's lawyer, Professor Roland Otaru.
Subsequently, the court admitted it to the bond.
Another case that involves the senator is also pending in a different court, and its reading of charges takes place on a later date.
Reacting to these developments, the coalition, in a statement signed by its national president, Abdul Mohammed Nasir; General Secretary, Victoria Adela; And Advertising Secretary, Ibeh Columbus Amaachi, expressed his dismay for what they described as the “endless persecution” of the senator.
They declared that anyone who previously doubted that Senator Natasha was being persecuted should now be convinced, given the numerous cases presented against her.

According to the group, “it can be clearly seen because of the persistent efforts of the government's lawyer to be imprisoned in prison that there is a desperate plot not only to embarrass it but also to keep it out of circulation.
“The senator voluntarily appeared as soon as he received the judicial summons. So what justified the request to send it for a crime that can normally be rescued?
“We are angry that this matter has been prolonged for so long, accompanied by an unnecessary drama.
“At this point, we are saying that enough is enough. This woman has suffered enough persecution. We expected the civil case in the Court to be allowed to follow her course, where she would have the opportunity to prove her accusations.
“On the other hand, what we are witnessing are acts of suppression that do not portray Nigeria in a positive way.”
The coalition asked the international organizations of the community, CEDEA and women around the world to meet in support of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan against their continuous humiliation and intimidation.
“The senator has been vulnerable to insecurity since the withdrawal of their security details. Recurrent criminal attacks against his Kogi state residence ask for the immediate restoration of his security,” the group said.
They also praised the judge of first instance for granting their bail despite the pressure of the government's rooms.
