Akpabio vs Akpoti-Uduaghan: We don’t know about it – Kingibe on Natasha’s claims

The lawmaker representing the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, in the Senate, Ireti Kingibe, has added her voice to the faceoff between Senators, Godswill Akpabio and Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.

She specifically spoke about the secual harassment the Senate President is being accused of.

DAILY POST reported earlier in the week that Senators Natasha and the Akpabio clashed during plenary proceedings in the Senate.

The incident on Thursday led to a rowdy section at the Senate a Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan, a member representing the Kogi Central refused to use the seat allocated to her.

The female lawmaker, who cited Order 10 of the Senate Standing Rules, which according to her, protects the privileges of members, argued that her seat cannot be changed without her notice.

Refusing to comply with the new seat arrangement, Natasha challenged the decision of Akpabio to change her seat, sparking a heated exchange in the chamber.

A viral video clip captured Natasha challenging the Senate President, saying, “I am not afraid of you.”

Following the incident, a popular activist lawyer, Deji Adeyanju had described Akpabio is the “worst Senate President” Nigeria has ever produced.

Also activist lawyer, Madubuachi Idam urged Nigerians to reject the bullying of senators by the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.

Idam said it was unconstitutional for Akpabio to deny Kogi Senator, Natasha Akpoti from making contributions during plenary because she disobeyed sitting arrangement.

In a similar reaction, Popular rights activist, Aisha Yesufu, berated the Senateor Akpabio, saying he should be in jail by now instead of leading the Senate and harassing the only two vocal female senators in the National Assembly.

But in her reaction on Arise TV’s News Day, Mrs Kingibe said Akpoti-Uduaghan had never opened up to fellow female Senators on any form of sexual harassment by Akpabio.

“The three of us (female senators) were not sexually harassed; that is not to say that if Senator Natasha can prove what she has, that is fine, we will support her. But she has never discussed it with us, we do not know about it.” She said.

    Sophos Launches Advisory Services to Deliver Cybersecurity Resilience

    Sophos, a global leader of innovative security solutions for defeating cyberattacks, has announced the launch of Sophos Advisory Services, a suite of security testing services designed to identify gaps in organisations’ security programmes.

    The offerings: External Penetration Testing, Internal Penetration Testing, Wireless Network Penetration Testing, and Web Application Security Assessment, help fortify an organisation’s defenses against cyberattacks and optimise their current security investments.

    Regardless of an organisation’s size or security maturity, assessing cybersecurity posture is critical to staying ahead of threat actors, demonstrating regulatory compliance, and building trust with customers, partners, and stakeholders.

    The Sophos State of Ransomware 2025 report highlights that the number one root cause for ransomware attacks is exploited vulnerabilities, and 65% of organizations reported a known or unknown security gap as a reason for being exposed to a ransomware attack.

    Senior Director, Sophos Advisory Services, Jake Dorval, said: “Adversaries are increasingly skilled at exploiting the smallest cracks in an organization’s security program. With Sophos Advisory Services, we give customers a proactive advantage – helping them find and fix weaknesses before attackers can exploit them. Backed by real-time insights from Sophos X-Ops threat intelligence, our experts enable organizations to strengthen resilience, meet compliance requirements, and build lasting trust with stakeholders.”

    According to Sophos, External Penetration Testing, simulates an attacker trying to breach organisation’s perimeter from the outside.

    Internal Penetration Testing, simulates an insider threat or an attacker who has already breached the perimeter, focusing on systems, applications, and data within the internal network.

    Wireless Network Penetration Testing, assesses the security of an organisation’s Wi-Fi networks and infrastructure and evaluates their compliance with appropriate mandates.

    Web Application Security Assessment, tests an organisation’s web applications for security vulnerabilities and design weaknesses.

    Sophos Advisory Services are delivered by dedicated testers with vast cross-discipline security expertise spanning security research, threat intelligence, law enforcement, military and other backgrounds who joined Sophos through the recent acquisition of Secureworks.

    The team holds hundreds of security certifications, has earned top finishes in capture the flag competitions, and is supported by Sophos X-Ops security analysts, threat intelligence and research specialists.

    Sophos plans to release additional Advisory Services in the coming months, which are the latest addition to Sophos’ fast-growing security services portfolio that also includes Sophos Emergency Incident Response.
