She disclosed this at the Abuja Federal High Court after the Federal government withdrew cybercrime charges against her.
Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, the Kogi Central Senator, has accused Senate President Godswill Akpabio and former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello of abusing their power for personal gain.
Natasha claimed that they misuse power to witch-hunt innocent Nigerians.
She disclosed this at the Abuja Federal High Court after the Federal government withdrew cybercrime charges against her.
Justice Mohammed Umar struck out the charge following the notice of discontinuance filed by the prosecution, the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF).
However, the lawmaker while addressing journalists said the withdrawal shows that the charges were maliciously instigated against her.
She said: “In life there are certain situations that test your faith and a good appreciation to the good people of Nigeria, Kogi State especially Kogi Central for their stand with me during this ordeal.
“The withdrawal of these two Federal government cases against me only proves that they were maliciously instigated by two individuals, Akpabio and former Governor Yahaya Bello, who misuse power to their advantage in witch-hunting an innocent person, which is myself.
“But I’d like to extend a sincere appreciation to President Tinubu. He was briefed on the truth and ordered the discontinuance of the two federal government cases against me.
“I have never doubted that Nigeria is a land of possibilities and the truth will somehow get one vindicated and now I can actually rest and resume my work.”
