The legal team of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has condemned the apparent pattern of selective justice, following the Federal Government's filing of criminal charges against the senator despite a dozen pending petitions she filed between March and May 2025.

In a public statement, her legal counsel, Uju Nwoduwu, detailed the twelve petitions submitted by Akpoti-Uduaghan, addressing grave issues such as cyberstalking, threats to life, defamation, and an alleged assassination plot. 

These petitions, the team claims, have not been acted upon by the Nigeria Police Force or relevant security agencies.

The legal team expressed concern that while Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan's complaints remain uninvestigated, counter-allegations from those she named, including Senate President Godswill Akpabio and former Governor Yahaya Bello, have been swiftly processed, culminating in criminal charges against her. 

"This selective response raises deep concerns about biased enforcement of justice," the statement noted.

Despite being abroad on personal engagements, the Senator has acknowledged official communication regarding the charges and has assured that she will present herself for arraignment once a date is confirmed. 

Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan's legal team stated that she remains committed to due process, appreciating the public's condemnation of the "extremely curious criminal charge" and expressing optimism that "injustices against her shall not be sustained."

The statement concludes with a renewed call for impartial investigations into all pending petitions and a plea for justice to be applied equally to all parties involved.
