THE arraignment of some oil marketers indicted in the oil subsidy scam by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) continued on Monday before a Lagos High Court sitting in Ikeja.
The anti-graft commission arraigned more oil marketers and an oil company before Justice Adeniyi Onigbanjo.
Those arraigned include Oluwaseun Ogunbambo, Habila Theck and Fargo Petroleum and Gas Limited.
One of them, Olugbenga Adesanya, was, however, not arraigned alongside others as, according to EFCC, he is "still at large".
The arraigned persons and company are among the 17 oil marketers and seven oil companies indicted in the fuel subsidy fraud by the House of Representatives committee.
They were arraigned on a six-count charge bordering on conspiracy, obtaining money by false pretence, forgery and use of false documents.
Initially, the charge sheet carried seven counts but one of the prosecuting counsel, Mr Francis Usani, applied to the court to drop one of the charges.
