The suspended lawmaker representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has been found guilty of contempt by the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja.
In a ruling delivered on Friday, Justice Binta Nyako said Akpoti-Uduaghan violated the court’s order by publishing a satirical apology to the Senator President, Godswill Akpabio.
Nyako stated that the apology, which was published on her Facebook page on April 7, is a mockery of a gag order that was placed on the parties by the court.
