Femi Falana, the human rights lawyer, said any official probe by security agencies into Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s attendance at the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) meeting in New York could bring unnecessary embarrassment to Nigeria.
Falana’s warning comes amid allegations by Senate President Godswill Akpabio that the senator’s actions humiliated the government and people of Nigeria after Akpoti-Uduaghan reported her suspension to the international body.
Akpoti-Uduaghan had recently accused Akpabio of sexually harassing her.
The allegation came in the wake of her seating arrangement altercation with Akpabio at the red chamber.
