Abuja, Nigeria – The National Assembly has officially unsealed the office of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central, after it remained locked for six months.
The office, located in Suite 2.05 of the Senate Wing, was reopened on Tuesday by the Deputy Director of the Sergeant-at-Arms, Alabi Adedeji, in a symbolic move that may clear the way for the senator’s return to the Red Chamber when plenary resumes on October 7, 2025.
“To unseal Senator Natasha Akpoti’s office, I, Alabi Adedeji, Deputy Director, Sergeant-at-Arms, hereby unseal the office,” he declared before unlocking the door.
The sealing of the office had sparked widespread speculation over political tensions in the Senate, with Akpoti-Uduaghan’s absence from plenary drawing criticism from her supporters.
Tuesday’s development is seen as a potential reconciliation step, signalling that the senator could resume full legislative duties once sessions reopen
