A Federal High Court in Abuja has sentenced Saleh Mamman, a former Minister of Power, Saleh Mamman to 75 years in prison for money laundering and fraud to the tune of N33.8 billion.
Mamman was convicted on all 12 counts preferred against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
He was sentenced to seven years each on 10 counts and handed three years and two years each on counts four and five of the charge.
Justice James Omotosho held that the sentence should run consecutively without the option of a fine, except on count four, which allows for a N10 million fine.
The court also ordered the forfeiture of foreign currencies that were recovered from the convict, as well as four choice properties in Abuja that were traced to him.
