A federal high court sitting in Abuja has pronounced Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, senator representing Kogi central, guilty of contempt.
In a ruling delivered on Friday, Binta Nyako, presiding judge, held that the suspended lawmaker violated a court order by publishing a satirical apology to Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
The court held that the content she published on her Facebook page on April 7, made a mockery of the order of court which barred parties from speaking publicly about the case.
Consequently, Nyako ordered Akpoti-Uduaghan to within seven days, publish an apology to the court in two national dailies and also on her Facebook page.
The court also ordered her to pay a N5 million fine.
