Akpabio was summoned by the house committee on NNDC after Joy Nunieh, a former Acting Director of the commission, levelled some allegations against him on Friday.
She had accused Akpabio of enabling corruption in the Commission and was after her because she refused to open the vault of the commission to him.
Meanwhile, Chairman of the committee, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, has stepped down from the hearings after allegations of corruption were directed against him.
