The Lagos High Court sitting in Ikeja on Monday failed to sit on the scheduled re-arraignment of Mamman Ali, son of former Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Ahmadu Ali, along with three others for alleged fuel subsidy fraud.

No reason was given for the failure of the court to sit but the court registrars announced a new date of Monday the 26th of November 2012 for the re-arraignment.

Present in court were the duo of Mamman Ali and Christian Taylor, who had initially been arraigned along with their company Nasaman Oil on the 26th of July for fuel subsidy fraud totaling about 2.23bn.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has however said that following further investigations, the defendants would be re-arraigned on an amended charge along with some other persons whose names were not originally on the charge.
