Senator Hope Uzodinma has failed to honour the invitation by the Special Presidential Investigation Panel for Recovery of the Public Property over fraud allegations against him.
The lawmaker representing Imo West was on Sunday arrested at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, by the police at the instance of the panel.
He was arrested in connection of a case on the alleged failure of his company to execute a contract of 12 million dollars for the dredging of Calabar Port channel.
Uzodinma was released the same day after an interrogation session with officials of the panel.
