The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, has fined the suspended lawmaker representing Kogi Central, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, N5 million for contempt.
In a ruling delivered on Friday by Justice Binta Nyako, the Court said that the embattled lawmaker violated its order to all the parties to refrain from making further comments in the media.
It held that the said apology, which she published on her Facebook page on April 7, where she threw satirical jab at the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio that she came to the National Assembly through election and NOT ” erection”, made a mockery of the gag order.
Consequently, she was ordered by the Court to, within seven days, publish an apology in two national dailies and also on her Facebook page.
Meanwhile, the court quashed the six-month suspension that was imposed on her by the Senate.
It therefore, gave the Senate seven days to recall her.
