Nigeria’s former Minister for Power, Saleh Mamman, has been sentenced to 75 years in prison in absentia over a N33.8 billion money laundering and fraud case brought by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The Federal High Court in Abuja, presided over by Justice James Omotosho, delivered the judgment on Wednesday, May 13, 2026. The court convicted Mamman on all 12 counts filed against him by the anti-graft agency, holding that the prosecution proved its case beyond a reasonable doubt.
Justice Omotosho ordered that the prison terms run consecutively rather than concurrently, resulting in a total jail term of 75 years.
