Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, who represents Kogi Central in the National Assembly, defied security restrictions imposed by the Kogi State Government on Tuesday as she returned to her hometown for a rally.

The senator arrived in a chopper to a thunderous reception from a crowd of jubilant supporters in Okehi Local Government Area—despite an earlier curfew and ban on public gatherings across the state, Okay.ng reports.

Ahead of her return, the Kogi State Government had banned rallies and large gatherings, citing rising security concerns.

Additionally, the Chairman of Okehi LGA, Amoka Monday, declared a curfew in the area, intensifying the political tension surrounding her homecoming.

Undeterred, Akpoti-Uduaghan addressed the crowd in Ebira, reaffirming her identity and declaring her constitutional right to return to her ancestral home.

“Nobody and nothing can stop me from coming home. I’m an Ebira person; this is my land,” she said.
“I’m the daughter of the late Jimoh Abdul Akpoti. I know my roots; I’m not a bastard, and I’m not afraid of anybody.”

Her bold declaration follows a prior warning from the Kogi State Police Command urging her to cancel her planned Eid-el-Fitr celebration rally. Authorities had cited security risks and potential disruption of public order.
