File: Former Minister of Power, Saleh Mamman
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has transferred former Minister of Power, Saleh Mamman, to the Nigeria Correctional Centre, Kuje, Abuja, following an order of the Federal High Court in Abuja for the commencement of his 75-year prison sentence.
Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court, Maitama, gave the order on Tuesday after Mamman was presented before the court by the EFCC.
A statement by the EFCC’s spokesman, Dele Oyewale, said the court proceeding also featured the filing of a consequential order by the EFCC seeking the forfeiture of five additional properties allegedly linked to the former minister.
Oyewale said counsel for the prosecution and Director of Public Prosecution of the Federation, Rotimi Oyedepo, told the court that the application dated May 25, 2026, sought an order for the forfeiture of the properties.
