The Federal High Court in Abuja has mandated the transfer of Saleh Mamman, the former Minister of Power, to the Kuje Correctional Centre, where he will commence a 75-year prison sentence for the misappropriation of approximately ₦33.8 billion in public funds. This ruling was delivered by Justice James Omotosho following proceedings initiated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Reports from a relative indicate that Mamman fled Abuja in a taxi shortly after the court's decision was announced. The case highlights ongoing efforts by the EFCC to address corruption within the Nigerian government.
