The cybercrime trial of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has been postponed to November 24 after Monday's scheduled hearing was disrupted by the #FreeNnamdiKanu protests in Abuja. Justice Mohammed Umar of the Federal High Court rescheduled the case when court activities resumed on Tuesday, continuing the legal delays that have characterized the proceedings since the senator's arraignment in June.

Key Points:
  • Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan's cybercrime trial has been adjourned to November 24
