Akpoti-Uduaghan was suspended on March 6, 2025, following a recommendation by the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions chaired by Senator Neda Imasuen (Edo South).

The committee had found her guilty of unruly behaviour on the floor of the Senate on February 20, 2025, during her protest against seat reallocation ordered by Senate President Godswill Akpabio.

The Senate had on Tuesday, September 23 unsealed her office and granted her full access to the National Assembly complex.
