It was reported that Akpoti-Uduaghan, who had earlier vowed to resume legislative activities, arrived at the National Assembly complex around 12.20 p.m.

Among those who accompanied her were a prominent political activist, Aisha Yesufu, and several of her supporters.

However, the suspended senator was barred from accessing the main building by security personnel.
Security had earlier been beefed up at the National Assembly complex, apparently owing to the resumption threat by the suspended senator.

The armed security personnel at the main gate of the national assembly comprised the police, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, the State Security Services, SSS, and the Sergeant-at-Arms.

The situation resulted in long queues of vehicles at the main entrance to the nation’s parliament, as the security operatives were ensuring thorough checks to ensure that Akpoti-Uduaghan did not beat the security network and enter the complex.

Recall that the Senate had reaffirmed, for the third time, that there was no subsisting court order mandating it to recall the senator before the expiration of her suspension.
