The Daily Torch Media:
Reports circulating on social media and some online platforms allege that Senate President Godswill Akpabio is currently seriously ill and receiving medical treatment at a hospital in London, United Kingdom, after reportedly collapsing earlier this month.
According to reports, he was said to have fallen ill on December 10, 2025, and was flown to London in a private jet allegedly provided by businessman Aliko Dangote. Supporters and some sources also claim that several senators have travelled to London to visit him and check on his condition.
The alleged absence of Akpabio from important Senate activities, including the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) and Fiscal Strategy Paper (FSP) session, is cited by sources as an indication of his inability to attend due to ill health.
