A Federal High Court in Abuja has sentenced former Nigerian Minister of Power, Saleh Mamman, to 75 years in prison over corruption linked to the Mambilla and Zungeru hydroelectric power projects.
Justice James Omotosho delivered the judgment on Wednesday after convicting Mamman on a 12-count corruption charge involving about ₦22 billion allegedly tied to the projects.
The court ruled that the prison terms would run consecutively, resulting in a total jail sentence of 75 years. The judge also ordered that the sentence would begin from the day Mamman is arrested.
In addition, the court directed security agencies to arrest the former minister wherever he is found and ordered that all recovered funds and properties linked to the case be forfeited to the Federal Government.
Justice Omotosho further instructed Mamman to refund the outstanding balance of the alleged diverted funds connected to the Mambilla and Zungeru hydropower projects.
The case is considered one of Nigeria’s major anti-corruption prosecutions involving the power sector and large-scale infrastructure contracts.
