BREAKING: Abuja Court Convicts Ex-Power Minister Saleh Mamman For Money Laundering Over N33.8Billion Hydro Projects 07.05.2026

A Federal High Court in Abuja has convicted the former Minister of Power, Saleh Mamman, on all 12 counts of money laundering related to an alleged diversion of N33.8 billion earmarked for the Zungeru and Mambilla Hydro Electric Power projects. Justice James Omotosho ruled that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) proved its case beyond reasonable doubt. Mamman’s absence from the judgment hearing was noted, with his lawyer citing an alleged indisposition without providing medical evidence. Despite defense attempts to adjourn, the EFCC successfully argued for the proceedings to continue, a decision the court ultimately upheld, criticizing the lack of justification for the former minister's absence.
