The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has sentenced former Minister of Power, Saleh Mamman, to 75 years in prison for stealing public funds totalling about N33.8 billion.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, brought the case before the court.
DailyPost reports that Mamman was accused of money laundering and conspiracy involving funds meant for the Zungeru and Mambilla hydroelectric power projects.
The ruling marks a major escalation from the earlier stage, where the court only dismissed his no-case submission and ordered him to open his defence.
