A Federal High Court in Abuja has sentenced former Minister of Power, Saleh Mamman, to 75 years imprisonment over a N33.8 billion fraud case.
The former minister was found guilty on all 12 counts of money laundering brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
The charges stemmed from allegations involving the diversion and laundering of public funds during his tenure as minister.
Delivering judgment, the court held that the prosecution successfully proved its case beyond reasonable doubt, leading to Mamman’s conviction on all counts.
The conviction marks a major victory for the EFCC in its anti-corruption campaign targeting high-profile public officials.
