Men of the Nigeria Police Force in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, on Wednesday dispersed supporters of the embattled senator representing Kogi Central senatorial district at the National Assembly, (NASS) Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan from accessing the National Assembly Complex.
The supporters had thronged the assembly gate but were dispersed by police officers with tear gas to avert a breakdown of law and order.
The protesters were at the NASS in solidarity with Akpoti-Uduaghan over her feud with the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, over her allegations of sexual harassment against him.
The protesters demanded Akpabio ‘s immediate resignation over the alleged sexual advances levelled against him.
The protesters had converged on the National Assembly gate as early as 8 am ahead of resumption of plenary and hearing of the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petition scheduled for today.
