A Federal High Court in Abuja has sentenced former Minister of Power Saleh Mamman to 75 years imprisonment over corruption linked to the Mambilla and Zungeru hydroelectric power projects.
Justice James Omotosho delivered the judgment on Wednesday after convicting the former minister on a 12-count charge bordering on conspiracy and money laundering.
The court ordered that the prison terms run consecutively, bringing the total sentence to 75 years. The judge also directed security agencies to arrest Mamman wherever he is found.
According to reports, the case involved billions of naira linked to the Mambilla and Zungeru hydroelectric power projects. The court also ordered the forfeiture of recovered assets and directed the former minister to refund outstanding funds connected to the case.
Saleh Mamman served as Minister of Power under former President Muhammadu Buhari.
