A Federal High Court in Abuja has convicted former Minister of Power, Saleh Mamman, on charges of money l@undering involving about ₦33.8 billion.
The ruling was delivered by Justice James Omotosho, who found Mamman guilty on all 12 counts filed against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The court held that the anti-graft agency successfully proved its case beyond reasonable doubt, establishing the former minister’s involvement in the financial offences.
According to the EFCC, the alleged ₦33.8 billion fr@ud was linked to funds earmarked for key power sector projects, including the Mambilla and Zungeru hydroelectric schemes. He was accused of conspiring with ministry officials and private individuals to divert public funds through questionable transactions during his tenure.
