Suspended Kogi State lawmaker, Sen. Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has reacted to the allegations laid against her by United States-based activist, Dr. Sandra Duru.
NPO Reported that Duru had during a Facebook live session on Thursday night leaked her conversations with Natasha where the lawmaker revealed the lies behind the sexual harassment allegation levelled against Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
The activist, popularly called Prof. Mgbeke, alleged that Natasha offered her N200 million to accuse the Senate President of organ harvesting, linking him with the death of a young girl who died a few years ago when she wasn’t getting anywhere with her sexual harassment allegation.
She further exposed call logs and conversations to debunk Natasha’s claim that she had never spoken to her before while adding that the evidences have been submitted to relevant authorities in the US and other parts of the world for forensic analysis.
Reacting to the allegations in a statement issued on Friday, Natasha claimed that Duru is playing the script of Akpabio who she alleged to have called the activist 47 minutes before she did the live streaming.
The Kogi lawmaker labelled her phone conversation with Duru as voice effect manipulated to serve the activist’s ulterior motives.
Natasha also denied calling former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, a “useful idiot” and Nigerians “Gullible and Hungry”.
She labelled them as crazy falsehood, including claim that her intention was to ruin the Yoruba-led administration of President Bola Tinubu.
While vowing to issued an official statement soon in response to the allegations, Natasha claimed claimed to know Duru’s true identity as she shared links of publications depicting the activists as con artist and scammer amongst others.
“I have carefully watched a livestream which was done by one Sandra C Duru on facebook, on May 1st, 2025.
“The content of the livestream including the voice effect credited to me are entirely untrue, and most manipulated to serve Sandra Duru’s ulterior motive of playing the script of Senator Godswill Akpabio (who called 47 minutes into her during her live stream… see attached).
“To the best of my knowledge, those words used against Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, Dr. Abiola, FIDA and good Nigerians as “Gullible and Hungry”, Yoruba Government etc are crazy falsehood and did not emanate from the natural cause of any contact involving me.
“It was from recent research that I also found out that the person who now represents herself as Sandra Duru is the same person who operated as Prof. Mgbeke on Facebook.
“In the nearest of time, I will respond to the unfounded allegations made therein.
