The incident occurred during deliberations on a motion concerning the abuse of the rights of Nigerian immigrants in Libya. Akpoti-Uduaghan, who represents Kogi Central under the Peoples Democratic Party, urged the Senate to intervene in the plight of Nigerian women said to be languishing in Libyan prisons. She alleged that some of the women were being sexually exploited by prison officials and forced to bear children while in detention. The senator, therefore, called on the red chamber to mandate the Nigerian Immigration Service to liaise with the Libyan authorities to ensure their repatriation. After her presentation, Senate President Godswill Akpabio called for any lawmaker to second the motion, a procedural step required before debate, but none of the senators, including the female lawmakers, rose to do so. The chamber fell into an awkward silence until the Senate Leader, Opeyemi Bamidele, eventually stood up to second the motion, allowing proceedings to continue. --- Follow us for more breaking news and videos

My ex-boyfriend threatened to kill me, bathed my assistant with acid - Lagos spa owner A young business owner in Lagos has raised alarm over alleged threats from her ex-boyfriend, which she says escalated into an acid attack on one of her staff members. According to her account, she had ended the relationship months earlier, after which she began receiving threatening messages from different numbers. The situation took a tragic turn when a client request led a staff member to a location, where she was attacked with a substance later confirmed to be acid. The case was reported to the police and taken to court, but the suspect was granted bail, reportedly due to the charges filed. The victim is now receiving treatment, while the incident has raised concerns about safety, accountability, and the handling of such cases. #Crime #Justice #AcidAttack #LagosNews #PunchVideos WATCH FULL VIDEO ON YOUTUBE
