Sharing a photo of herself on Twitter,  in the dress she wore, she wrote:

“Dear @nassnigeria what is your dress code policy for entering the National Assembly? Today I was denied access to cover the #socialmediabill public hearing for my organisation @AmplifiedR on the grounds that I am indecently dressed”

The bill, entitled “Protection from Internet Falsehood and Manipulation Bill,” was sponsored by Senator Musa Mohammed (Niger East) passed through second reading in January before being referred to the Senate Committee on Judiciary and Legal Matters headed by Senator Opeyemi Bamidele.
