The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio while reading out the recommendations of the Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Code of Conduct who were probing her claims of sexual harassment said that the Senate suspend Natasha for six months for her total violation of the Senate Standing Rules, 2023 as amended for bringing the presiding officer and the entire Nigerian Senate to public opprobrium. 

Despite efforts by some Senators to reduce the suspension period to three months, the Senate, in a majority vote, sustained the initial decision.

However, the lawmakers ruled that the suspension could be lifted or reduced if she tenders a written apology.

Akpabio at the Red Chamber today said for the Senate to consider lifting the suspension or reducing the tenure of the suspension, Senator Natasha should submit a written apology to the Senate before her reconsideration by the Nigerian Senate. 

Following her suspension, the Kogi Central lawmaker was escorted out of the chamber by the Sergeant-At-Arms, but before she left she declared that this injustice would not be sustained.
