Neda Imasuen, chairman senate committee on ethics, privileges and public petitions, says the sexual harassment case by Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan is “closed” at the upper chamber.

Imasuen spoke on Tuesday while responding to a comment by the Akpoti-Uduaghan’s lawyer, who accused him of bias.

Earlier, Abiola Akiode, counsel to Akpoti-Uduaghan, asked Imasuen to step down as chairman of the senate panel.

“Our intention is that, if we are going to proceed, we want the chair to please step down from this conversation to allow for fairness and justice in accordance with the constitution of this country,” Akiode said.

Responding, Imasuen said the case is already before the court and the committee will stay out of the matter.

“Let me tell you, the first petition that came before us was signed by Distinguished Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan. Contrary to our rules, you cannot sign your own petition. The petition that came before us did not even have an address. Contrary to our rules, that petition shouldn’t have been entertained,” he said.

“In any case, for the position that I can see you are taking, it means the whole senate is biased. Because the whole senate witnessed what happened. So, I don’t know what ad-hoc committee you are going to constitute that is not aware of what has been going on.

“Learned respondent (Akpabio’s counsel) has just told us that this matter is before the law court, and I will address that by our rule book. I will address that by our rule book, order 40 (7), which says ‘senate should not receive or deliberate on any matter to which actions are pending in any court of law’. This is our rule book.

“Therefore, the petitioner said he would not speak to his petition because the committee is biased, the respondent has just told us that this case is before a competent court of law, therefore, this committee will allow the court of law, that will not be biased, to handle this matter.

“Therefore, this matter is closed here at the senate and it is adjourned sine die.”

Meanwhile, Akpoti-Uduaghan has instituted a contempt application against Imasuen and Senate President Godswill Akpabio over her suspension.
