Ex-Power Minister Saleh Mamman Absent as Court Delivers Judgment in N33.8bn Money Laundering Case

Former Power Minister Saleh Mamman did not appear in the Federal High Court in Abuja when judgment was due in the alleged N33.8bn money laundering case. His lawyer informed the court that despite receiving notice of the judgment date, they could not reach Mamman and were told he was indisposed. No medical report was provided to support the claim. EFCC counsel argued the court could proceed under the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, and Justice Omotosho resolved to read the judgment. The ex-minister has pleaded not guilty and is on bail. This case involves funds meant for the Zungeru and Mambilla hydroelectric projects.
