Nigeria, Sept. 23 -- The Kogi Central Senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has resumed duties at her office in the National Assembly complex, Abuja.

The senator arrived around 12:30 p.m. with a crowd of supporters waving Nigerian flags.

Security operatives at the main gate, however, barred the supporters from entering and later dispersed them with teargas, but Mrs Akpoti-Uduaghan and a few aides were eventually allowed access into the building.

On gaining entry, she proceeded to her office in Suite 2.05 of the Senate Wing and took her seat, just hours after the National Assembly management unsealed the office.

Addressing journalists, Mrs Akpoti-Uduaghan declared she had no apologies to make and affirmed that she had resumed her duties. ...
