The Federal High Court in Abuja has sentenced former Minister of Power, Saleh Mamman, to 75 years imprisonment over corruption linked to the Mambilla and Zungeru hydroelectric power projects.
Justice James Omotosho delivered the judgment on Wednesday after convicting Mamman on a 12-count charge bordering on corruption and diversion of public funds.
The court ruled that the prison terms would run consecutively, bringing the total sentence to 75 years.
Justice Omotosho also ordered that the sentence would take effect from the day Mamman is arrested and directed all security agencies to apprehend the former minister wherever he is found.
The court further ordered the forfeiture of all funds and properties recovered from him to the Federal Government.
In addition, Mamman was directed to refund the outstanding balance from the alleged N22 billion linked to the Mambilla and Zungeru hydroelectric power projects.
The former minister was prosecuted over alleged financial misconduct during his tenure in office.
