Saleh Mamman Fails to File Address in N33.8b Fraud Case
Saleh Mamman, the former Minister of Power, did not file his final written address on April 16, 2026, in a fraud case involving N33,804,830,503.73 (approximately N33.8 billion). The trial is being conducted by Justice Jame Omotosho at the Federal High Court in Maitama, Abuja.
Mamman is facing 12 counts of charges related to money laundering, prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). His counsel, Femi Atteh, acknowledged receipt of the prosecution's final written address and informed the court of a motion filed on April 1, 2026, seeking an extension of time to enable him to file his own final written address.
The prosecution, represented by Rotimi Oyedepo, did not object to this motion. Consequently, Justice Omotosho adjourned the matter until April 23, 2026, for the adoption of the final written address.
