The family residence of Senator Natasha H. Akpoti-Uduaghan, who represents Kogi Central Senatorial District, was once again attacked on Tuesday night at her country home in Ihima, Okehi Local Government Area of Kogi State.

In a statement issued on Wednesday in Abuja by the Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan Media Office, it was revealed that the armed men vandalised several windows. However, with the swift intervention of officers from the local police station, community vigilantes, and concerned youths, the attackers were repelled, and one suspect was apprehended.

The suspect, identified as Suberu Jose—an alleged ritualist believed to be affiliated with the lawmaker’s political opposition and a native of the community—was arrested at the scene. He reportedly confessed to the crime and admitted it was his third time participating in attacks on the lawmaker’s family home.

An angry mob attempted to descend on the suspect before he was rescued and handed over to the police. A cutlass and charms were recovered from him.

Other suspects involved in the attack, reportedly armed with dangerous weapons, remain at large.

It will be recalled that Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan’s family home was previously attacked on April 15, 2025, with no arrests made at the time. This recent arrest marks the first breakthrough in what appears to be a coordinated pattern of violence.

The renewed assault comes amid political tensions, as the Federal Government recently filed two criminal charges against Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan. The charges follow her public allegations of sexual harassment against Senate President Godswill Akpabio, which led to her controversial six-month suspension from the Senate.

 

“We call on the public to remain calm and steadfast in pursuing justice. Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan’s commitment to truth and her tireless representation of her constituents should not be met with violence or intimidation,” the statement read.

 

When this report was filed, the police had yet to issue an official statement on the arrest or the ongoing investigation.
