FORMER POWER MINISTER SENTENCED BY COURT TO 75 YEARS IMPRISONMENT
The former Minister of Power, Saleh Mamman, was on Wednesday sentenced by Federal High Court in Abuja to 75 years’ imprisonment over corruption linked to the Mambilla and Zungeru hydroelectric power projects.
The trial judge, James Omotosho 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.
He 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.
