Witness’s absence stalls ex-PDP chairman’s son’s trial over subsidy fraud

Ali is standing trial alongside one Christian Taylor and Nasaman Oil Services Ltd. on a 49-count charge bordering on conspiracy to obtain money by false pretences, obtaining money by false pretences, forgery and use of false document.

The defendants, however, pleaded not guilty during re-arraignment on March 24, 2023.

The charge was preferred against them by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
