Mamman Nasir, son of the former national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Ahmadu Ali, was re-arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) yesterday for alleged fuel subsidy fraud. Re-arraigned with Nasir were his business partners, Messrs Christian Taylor and Oluwaseun Ogunbambo and their company, Nasaman Oil Services. One of the defendants, Abdul-Azeez Afis was said to be at large.
They were alleged to have fraudulently collected N4.4 billion from the Subsidy Support Programme of the Federal Government using fake and forged documents. The defendants, who were re-arraigned before Justice Adeniyi Onigbanjo of Lagos High Court, sitting in Ikeja, were slammed with 13-count charge of conspiracy, obtaining money under false pretence, forgery and the use of false documents.
EFCC had on July 26 arraigned Ali, Taylor and Nasaman Oil Services over alleged N2.2 billion fuel subsidy fraud before amending the charge to re-arraign them defendants yesterday.
The defendants pleaded not guilty to the charges when read to them and Justice Onigbanjo ordered that Ali and Taylor should continue to enjoy the N20 million bail earlier granted each of them on July 26 while Ogunbambo was remanded in prison custody.
The court later fixed tomorrow for ruling on the bail application filed by Ogunbambo’s counsel, Mr. Adebayo Adenipekun (SAN). In the amended charge against the oil marketers, EFCC alleged that the defendants conspired to obtain the money from the Federal Government for purported importation of 30.5 million litres of Premium Motor Spirits (PMS). The anti-graft agency said the offences contravened Sections 1(3) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act of 2006.

If we should be honest, it’s federal govt fault that allow this kind of fraud in de fisrt place. If our refernaries were put a working order n new ones were built why would de federal govt have to be subsidising petrol. I think federal govt need to be charged for fraud as well. Only God Himself can safe this country from de useless PDP party. They have nothing absolute nothinhg to show for almost 14 years of ruling this country. Perhaps, it’s high time we vote them out come next ellection. They’re all criminals. All members of PDP are armed robbers. They will never allow this country to progress. Nothing works in this country cos of their greed. May god pay all de member4 of PDP according to what they are doing to nigerians. U all will never know peace n happiness in ur lives . Know one thing, u or ur children shall be rewarded according to ur deed. Amen
l tel u,it’s d fault of d govt cos if there were refinary in d country no one wuld ve get d chance of forgin pappers & company.all in d name of fraud.dese citizens who are into fraud dnt lovr nigeria as a country.deir sins shall find dem out.
Arraignment is a show of force bcos our judicial system is corrupt. Nigerians ve seen such in d past & nothing come out of it.
We should stop suggesting Government to build Refineries because Nigeria is Corruption to the deepest sea level. People should advocate for a total privatization of all sectors, so the we the masses could enjoy any service we like, we should stop entertaining fears that privatization would make us to pay more. Well, yes, to some extent that it would make us to pay more for a start but market competition would bring everything to kobo, kobo soonest it kick starts. As a matter of fact, we the masses are our own problems about that
