The alleged Cybercrime Trial of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central Senatorial District, has been adjourned till February 2026 by Justice Mohammed Umar of the Federal High Court, Abuja.
The trial could not proceed due to the absence of the trial Judge.
It would be recalled that the matter could not also hold at the earlier scheduled date of October 21, due to the protest organised by Omoyele Sowore, demanding the release of the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, who was recently convicted on terrorism offences.
Justice Umar had, on Sept. 22, fixed Oct. 21 for the hearing after the trial was stalled owing to an objection raised by the defendant.
Akpoti-Uduaghan was arraigned on June 30 on a six-count charge filed by the Director of Public Prosecution of the Federation, DPPF, Mohammed Abubakar.
She was granted bail, following which Justice Umar adjourned till Sept. 22 for the commencement of trial.
