Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has raised serious concerns over what she describes as clear bias by the Nigeria Police Force in the handling of multiple petitions she filed against Senate President, Godswill Akpabio and former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello.
In a formal letter dated May 19, 2025, and addressed to the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, the senator, through her legal counsel, Dr. Ehiogie West-Idahosa, SAN, accused the police of showing preferential treatment towards Akpabio while neglecting her own petitions.
“Our client submitted numerous petitions to the Nigeria Police against Senator Akpabio,” the letter reads. “These petitions were clearly stated and submitted between March and April 2025, yet no meaningful steps have been taken to impartially investigate them.”
According to the letter, the petitions include a March 25 report alleging threats to Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan’s life, a March 31 complaint over the sudden and unauthorized withdrawal of her police security detail, and an April 4 petition accusing Akpabio and Yahaya Bello of conspiracy to assassinate her.
All three petitions, the letter noted, were acknowledged by the police between March 26 and April 5. However, her legal team says that since then, the police have failed to invite witnesses, conduct interviews, or move the investigations forward.
West-Idahosa pointed to the high-ranking political position of Senator Akpabio as a likely factor in the apparent reluctance to act. “It is obvious that this unwillingness to thoroughly and impartially investigate the petitions may be due to the high political office occupied by Senator Godswill Akpabio,” he said.
The letter also emphasized that Yahaya Bello, no longer a sitting governor, is not protected by constitutional immunity and should be fully subject to criminal investigation.
What has heightened concerns for Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan and her legal team is the contrast in how quickly the police responded to a counter-petition filed by Akpabio. On April 3, Akpabio accused her of making false allegations, criminal defamation, and incitement. Within days, Akpoti-Uduaghan was invited by police investigators, made a statement under caution, and reaffirmed her claims—providing names of witnesses and submitting supporting documents.
Yet despite her cooperation, West-Idahosa said her original petitions and evidence were not included in the case file regarding Akpabio’s complaint. He further revealed that her legal team was recently informed that the police had already concluded their investigation into Akpabio’s petition.
“Our client is concerned that investigations into her petitions have been severally and unjustly stalled in what appears to be a discriminatory executive action,” he said.
The letter described the police’s actions as a breach of Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan’s constitutional rights and called for immediate intervention from the Attorney General. Her lawyers are urging him to invoke Section 105(3) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) 2015, which empowers the Attorney General to request case files from the police for review.
