Ahead of the 2019 General Elections, the Governorship Candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC in Imo State, Senator Hope Uzodinma has been arrested by the Special Presidential Investigation Panel For Recovery of Public Property.

Suanu's Blog gathered that Senator Uzodinma was picked up at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja for the failure of his company to execute a contract of $12m for the dredging of Calabar channel awarded by Nigerian Ports Authority.

Chairman of the panel, Okoi Obono-Obla said Uzodinma had been evading arrest for about a year but was arrested at about 8.20pm at the Abuja airport.

“This evening, at about 8.20pm, operatives of the Special Presidential Investigation Panel For Recovery of Public Property at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport arrested the APC governorship candidate in Imo State, Hope Uzodinma, after disembarking from an Air Peace P47324 flight from Lagos.

“The panel is investigating economic sabotage against Senator Uzodinma arising out of the failure of his company to execute a contract of $12m for the dredging of Calabar channel awarded by the NPA,” Obla said in a statement.

It may interest you to note that Senator Uzodinma and Governor Okorocha are at each other's throat over the soul of APC in Imo State and the Governorship ticket of the party. It is however unclear if the arrest of Senator Uzodinma has anything to do with his battles with Mr.Okorocha.
