A Federal High Court sentences former Minister of Power, Saleh Mamman, to 75 years in prison over corruption allegations connected to hydroelectric power projects. Multiple reports state that the conviction stems from fraud involving power-sector projects and that the court issues punishment across 12 separate counts. Premium Times reports that the judge orders the sentences for the 12 counts to run consecutively rather than concurrently, meaning the terms are served back-to-back. The Punch similarly reports the 75-year sentence and links it to the alleged corruption related to hydroelectric power projects. The accounts agree on the identity of the defendant, the court’s sentence length, the broad nature of the case involving power infrastructure, and the structure of the sentence across multiple counts. The reports do not provide further details in the excerpts on the specific acts alleged under each count or on whether the defence has announced plans to appeal.
