There was drama at the entrance of the National Assembly complex in Abuja on Tuesday as security operatives clashed with Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, who was suspended from Kogi Central, from gaining access to the legislative complex.
Akpoti-Uduaghan was accompanied to the National Assembly complex by by activist Aisha Yesufu, rights advocate Mama P, activist and content creator, Randy, and a crowd of supporters, but the lawmaker’s convoy was denied entry by security officials.
Yesufu, in a bid to intervene, confronted the officers stationed at the gate and challenged the order allegedly issued to block Natasha’s entry.
“National Assembly is meant to be for everyone. Why are you stopping us?
“We are not abiding doesn’t mean we are cowards,” she said.
The standoff quickly escalated as some supporters began chanting “Push!” while attempting to force their way in.
Natasha’s supporters were later seen marching toward the complex, chanting solidarity songs, the Punch reports.
