Uduk was charged for electoral fraud in Akwa Ibom State senatorial election in which he was accused of unlawful generation of election results in favour of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, and lying under oath.
Uduk was remanded in prison custody in December after the court issued a warrant of arrest on him.
