Former Nigerian Minister Saleh Mamman Faces Trial Over N33.8bn Money Laundering Case
Saleh Mamman, a former Minister of Power, is set to face trial in the Federal High Court in Abuja over an alleged N33.8 billion money laundering case related to major power projects. The case involves accusations of diverting funds meant for power projects like Zungeru and Mambilla hydroelectric projects.
Mamman's request for discharge without entering a defense was dismissed by Justice James Omotosho, who ruled that there is enough evidence presented by the EFCC to require Mamman to explain his alleged role. The trial is ongoing, with Mamman maintaining his innocence until proven guilty.
