Saminu Rabi, a fuel subsidy scam suspect appearing before an Abuja High Court, was today advised by the judge to obtain a hearing aid following his complaint that he could he could not hear what was being said in the court room.

Rabiu, along with Jubril Rowaye of Alminnur Recourses Limited and Brila Energy Limited, were arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), on 17 counts of fraudulently claiming over N1.05 billion from the government.

Justice Adebukola Banjoko, presiding, told Rabiu to procure a hearing aid that would enable him hear properly in the court and directed the EFCC to re-arraign the suspects on October 17.

The Commission last Friday arraigned another set of 13 suspects before a court in Lagos on similar charges.
