Court sentences ex-power minister Mamman to 75 years

 

Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court, on Wednesday, sentenced former Minister of Power, Saleh Mamman, to 75 years’ imprisonment over corruption linked to the Mambilla and Zungeru hydroelectric power projects.

The trial judge convicted Mamman on a 12-count charge and held that the prison terms would run consecutively, bringing the total sentence to 75 years.

Justice Omotosho further ordered that the jail term would begin from the day the convict is arrested.

The judge also directed all security agencies to arrest Mamman wherever he is found.

The court equally ordered that all monies and properties recovered from the former minister be forfeited to the Federal Government, while directing him to refund the outstanding balance from the alleged N22bn linked to the Mambilla and Zungeru hydroelectric power projects.
