Akpabio/Natasha: "Allegations of Sexual Harassment Must be Treated with Seriousness" – CAN

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has stated that the allegations of sexual harassment leveled against Senate President Godswill Akpabio by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan must be taken seriously.

The CAN Chairman for the 19 Northern states and the Federal Capital Territory, Rev. Joseph Hayab, made this statement during a media engagement in Kaduna.

“There is a need for elders to step in. Akpabio and Natasha have people they respect and highly regard. Members of the National Assembly must take responsibility in handling this matter.” 

“Any group calling for Akpabio’s resignation should desist, as no one has been proven guilty in this matter. Taking sides will only escalate tensions. Allegations of sexual harassment must be treated with seriousness, but also with fairness and sobriety,” CAN added.
