Kogi Central Senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has landed in her constituency despite moves by the state government and the Nigeria Police to stop the homecoming.

DAILY POST reports that the state government banned rallies and public gatherings across the state ahead of her homecoming, citing security issues.

The government also stopped fishing and other activities, lamenting that fishing activities resulted in the loss of two lives in Kasemiya, Katubo and Umozu Ette, all in Kogi LGA in Kogi West.

Similarly, the Kogi State Police Command also issued security alerts urging the suspended lawmaker to shelve the planned rally.

According to a statement by the Kogi State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP William Ovye Aya, intelligence reports revealed that the proposed rally poses a security threat to the people of the state.

However, the senator, who was recently slammed with six months suspension over alleged misconduct during plenary, received a rousing welcome from her constituents when she landed.

This is coming amid the face-off between Natasha and the President of the Nigerian Senate, Godswill Akpabio over allegation of sexual harassment.
