The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Yemi Adaramodu, stated this in an interview with newsmen.

It was reported that the Senate had earlier suspended Akpoti-Uduaghan for six months amid the sexual harassment allegation she had made against Akpabio.

The suspension came after a recommendation from the Senate Committee on Ethics, Code of Conduct and Public Petitions, as presented by the Chairman of the Committee, Neda Imasuen, APC-Edo South.

As part of the suspension, the senator’s salary and security details were withdrawn, while she was barred from accessing the National Assembly premises.

Recall that the Federal High Court, Abuja Division, where the presiding judge, Justice Binta Nyako, ordered the Senate to recall her from suspension.
The court, also sanctioned Akpoti-Uduaghan for contempt and ordered her to pay a N5 million fine.

Adaramodu, who is the Senate spokesperson, said that the upper legislative chamber had applied for the CTC, stressing that until the document was received and studied, the Senate could not take a position on the matter.
