The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Wednesday, August 1st, 2012, arraigned five fresh suspects implicated in the fuel subsidy scam at a Lagos High Court sitting in Ikeja presided over by Justice Habeeb Abiru. The five suspects: Walter Wagbatsoma, Adaoha Ugo – Ngadi; Fakuade Babafemi Ebenezer; Ezekiel Olaleye Ejidele and Ontario Oil and Gas Nigeria Limited, were arraigned on a nine count charge bordering on obtaining property by false pretences, altering, forgery and conspiracy.
The EFCC had on July 25th , 2012 taken the suspects to court in order to arraign them but the absence of one of the suspects, Walter Wagbatsoma, stalled the arraignment.
Counsel to the EFCC, Rotimi Jacobs told the court the matter was for arraignment. Thereafter, the suspects were called to the dock and the charges read to them. They all pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Counsel to Wagbatsoma and Ontario Oil and Gas Nigeria Limited, Babajide Koku, SAN, said he had filed an application before the court, urging it to grant the defendants bail based on self- recognition. He said he hinged his prayer on the fact that his client promised to produce himself in court and he did so. Koku told the court that Wagbatsoma did not have any record of jumping bail and as such will be available for trial.
