Okay News reports that the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has shifted the cybercrime case involving Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central, to November 24, 2025.
The case, which had earlier been slated for hearing on Tuesday, was rescheduled due to administrative reasons, according to court officials. The adjournment was confirmed by sources within the judiciary who disclosed that the shift was to allow the presiding judge to conclude other pending matters before the court.
Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan is facing trial over allegations bordering on cyberstalking and misinformation, charges which she has strongly denied. Her legal team maintains that the case is politically motivated, insisting that their client has always acted within the boundaries of the law.
“The Senator remains confident in the judicial process and is prepared to defend herself against every allegation,” a member of her legal team said outside the courtroom.
Observers say the case has drawn wide public interest, given Akpoti-Uduaghan’s rising political influence and her frequent clashes with political rivals in Kogi State. Many of her supporters were present in court to show solidarity as proceedings were briefly mentioned before the adjournment was announced.
The new hearing date of November 24 is expected to allow both prosecution and defense teams to finalize their submissions ahead of the trial’s continuation.
