Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan resubmitted a petition signed by her constituent, the kogi state chief whip before the Senate alleging sexual harassment from Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
During the plenary on Thursday, Senator Natasha was asked whether the matter was already before any court of law, But she said it was not.
Following protocol, the lawmaker was directed to formally submit the petition, after which it was referred to the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Code of Conduct for investigation.
The committee has been given four weeks to conduct its probe and report to the Senate.
This marks the second time the Kogi Central lawmaker has raised the allegation in the chamber with previous petition dismissed on Wednesday owing to procedural irregularities.
