Minister Nandutu risks arrest after snubbing police summons over iron sheet scandal

However, it is likely that on refusal, the minister risks arrest.

The Police spokesperson explained that the arrest of people implicated in the iron sheets scandal only depends on the advice of the DPP and the evidence against them.
