  • Protesters from the Women for Change Vanguard stormed the United Nations office in Abuja.

  • The protesters, led by Irene Umoh, claimed that Akpoti-Uduaghan has been trying to play the victim on the international stage.

  • The protest comes after Akpoti-Uduaghan filed a contempt charge against Akpabio and others over her six-month suspension without pay from the Senate.

Protesters under the aegis of Women for Change Vanguard took to the streets, marching to the United Nations office in Abuja on Friday.

The protesters, chanting solidarity songs and displaying banners, challenged Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan to provide evidence of the alleged sexual harassment she accused Senate President Godswill Akpabio of.

According to the leader of the protesters, Irene Umoh, the women’s group decided to petition the UN following Akpoti-Uduaghan’s attempts to play the victim on the international stage.

Umoh urged the global organization to ask the suspended legislator to provide credible evidence of the alleged harassment.

Umoh stated, “This is not the first time Senator Natasha has made serious allegations against a prominent figure. Such actions risk becoming a weapon she wields against men in power, undermining the core principles of our fight against sexual violence.”

She added, “As mothers and members of the Women for Change Vanguard, we are acutely aware of the implications of false accusations. Such claims not only harm the accused but also diminish the experiences of genuine survivors.”

The protesters called on Akpoti-Uduaghan to provide concrete evidence of her claims against Akpabio. Umoh emphasized that if credible evidence is presented, the group will stand firm in their commitment to ensuring justice is served.

The UN Senior Human Rights Advisor, Adwoa Kufuor, received the petition from the protesting women, promising to channel their grievances to the right quarters in the organization.
