尼日利亚上诉法院维持参议院对参议员Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan的停职决定, Nigeria's Court of Appeal upholds Senate's suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan for missing her seat and defying the Senate President, but voids the contempt charge, fine, and apology order due to procedural errors.

上诉法院阿布贾庭维持参议院对参议员Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan的停职决定,裁定参议院根据其规则行使职权行事。 The Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal has upheld the Senate’s suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, ruling the Senate acted within its authority under its rules. 法院确认,由于她于2025年2月20日没有坐在被分配的席位上,并且拒绝遵守参议院主席的指示,因此中止了工作。 The court affirmed the suspension stemming from her failure to sit in her assigned seat on February 20, 2025, and refusal to comply with the Senate President’s directive. 在确认暂停执行的同时,法院撤销了藐视法庭罪、500万元罚款和公开道歉令,并援引了最初诉讼程序中的程序缺陷。 While confirming the suspension, the court nullified the contempt charge, a ₦5 million fine, and a public apology order, citing procedural flaws in the original proceedings. 该决定是在CA/ABJ/CV/1107/2025号案件中作出的,确认了参议院的纪律权力,但强调需要就此类事项采取适当的法律程序。 The decision, issued in case CA/ABJ/CV/1107/2025, confirms the Senate’s disciplinary power but stresses the need for proper legal process in such matters.
