One out of the nine counts of $1.6bn crude oil fraud instituted against businessman, Jide Omokore, and five others, have been struck out by a Federal High court in Abuja, on Wednesday.
The judge, Justice Nnamdi Dimgba, in his ruling, struck out the eighth count after hearing an application by a former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Allison-Madueke, who claimed she was indicted in the particular count. Diezani claimed she was not allowed to defend herself.
