All the accused were previously arraigned before Justice Habeeb Abiru, who ceased to continue presiding over the cases after his elevation to the Court of Appeal last November.
The accused who were produced in court on Tuesday were re-arraigned in two sets before Justice Lateefat Okunnu. Walter Wagbatsoma, Adaoha Ugo-Ngadi, Fakuade Ebenezer, Ezekiel Ejidele, and Ontario Oil and Gas were re-arraigned for allegedly fraudulently obtaining of N1.9bn from the Federal Government under the subsidy scheme. - See more at: http://www.punchng.com/news/efcc-re-arraigns-seven-for-n2-7bn-subsidy-fraud/#sthash.EdFv3Kac.dpuf
