The controversy trailing the sexual harassment allegation against Senate President Godswill Akpabio continues to make the frontpages. 

Daily Trust reports that the senate committee on ethics, code of conduct, and public petitions has dismissed the alleged sexual harassment petition filed by Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, Kogi central senator, against Akpabio. The newspaper says farmers in Difa community, Yamaltu Deba LGA of Gombe state, now stay on their farms to ward off increasing hippopotamus attacks. The police command in Abuja has arrested a dismissed immigration officer while he was trying to deliver weapons to bandits operating in the Abuja-Kaduna forests.
THISDAY reports that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has said Nigeria is not on the verge of sliding into a debt trap, stating that the country’s debt level is “moderate and not high risk”. The newspaper says Akpabio has denied the sexual harassment allegation levelled against him by Akpoti-Uduaghan, saying at no time did he ever attempt it.
Vanguard reports that the political crisis in Rivers has taken another dimension as the Martin Amaewhule-led faction of the state assembly has asked Fubara to sack all commissioners within 48 hours and submit a new list of nominees. The newspaper says there was panic among staff members of the Lagos house of assembly when Ottun Babatunde, the acting clerk, was rushed to hospital shortly after returning from the office of the Department of State Services (DSS).
The Punch reports that the Rivers house of assembly has accused Siminalayi Fubara, governor of the state, of constitutional breaches, citing unlawful appointments and disregard for legislative approval.
