How Akpabio, Yahaya Bello Plotted to Kill Me – Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan Reveals Chilling Allegation

“Akpabio, Yahaya Bello Plotted to Kill Me – Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan”

In a shocking new allegation, suspended Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, who represents Kogi Central, has accused Senate President Godswill Akpabio and former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello of conspiring to have her killed. Speaking to a crowd of supporters during her homecoming event on Tuesday, Akpoti-Uduaghan revealed the chilling details of what she claims was a deliberate plot against her life.

According to the senator, the conspiracy began after Akpabio attempted to have her recalled from the Senate. She alleges that Akpabio had contacted Kogi State Governor Ododo on March 13, 2025, instructing him to initiate the recall process. However, Governor Ododo reportedly rejected the proposal, citing the overwhelming public support for Akpoti-Uduaghan in Kogi Central. Not satisfied with the rejection, Akpabio, Akpoti-Uduaghan claims, turned to Yahaya Bello for help.

The lawmaker further alleges that during a meeting, Akpabio laid out two instructions for Bello. The first was to fund the recall effort, while the second, more sinister request, was for Bello to ensure that Akpoti-Uduaghan be killed. Akpoti-Uduaghan claims that Akpabio made it clear that the murder should occur in Kogi State, not Abuja, to make it appear as though the people of her constituency were responsible.

“I didn’t make this public earlier, but I have written to the Inspector General of Police about this,” Akpoti-Uduaghan said during her speech. Her revelation sent shockwaves through the crowd, with many of her supporters expressing disbelief at the severity of the accusation.

Although Akpoti-Uduaghan did not reveal any specific evidence at the time of her address, she has maintained that she is committed to pursuing legal action, calling for a thorough investigation into the matter. She also stated that the Nigeria Police Force has been informed of the alleged plot.

The accusation marks the latest chapter in an ongoing political saga surrounding Akpoti-Uduaghan. Earlier in March, she was suspended from the Senate for six months, with charges of “gross misconduct” and “unruly behavior” levied against her. Her suspension was widely seen as part of a larger political struggle, with Akpoti-Uduaghan herself suggesting that her stance on certain issues had made her a target within the Senate.

This new claim has added fuel to an already intense political fire. Akpoti-Uduaghan has long been a vocal critic of both Akpabio and Bello, accusing them of using their positions to manipulate local and national politics for their own gain. The senator’s supporters have rallied behind her, with many condemning the alleged assassination plot as a blatant attempt to silence her.

As the situation unfolds, the tension in Kogi State continues to rise. Akpoti-Uduaghan has vowed to fight against what she calls politically motivated actions aimed at her removal. Her allegations have sparked widespread discussion, both within Nigeria and internationally, highlighting the deep divisions that exist in the country’s political landscape.

With the involvement of high-ranking figures such as Akpabio and Bello, and Akpoti-Uduaghan’s decision to bring the matter to the public eye, this story is far from over. The next steps will depend on the outcome of investigations and whether Akpoti-Uduaghan’s claims can be substantiated. In the meantime, her supporters remain firmly behind her, rallying around her call for justice and the protection of her rights.
