Saleh Mamman, a former Nigerian minister of power was arrested on Tuesday, days after he was sentenced in absentia to 75 years in prison for laundering 33.8 billion naira ($24.6 million), in what was widely described as a rare high-profile conviction. Prosecutors said the funds were proceeds of unlawful activity linked to government-financed hydroelectric projects, including Nigeria’s Mambilla and Zungerupower plants. Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) chief Ola Olukoyede said ​that Mamman, who had been in hiding since ​his May 7 conviction, was arrested in ​the ‌northern Nigerian city of Kaduna and was now in custody.  Mamman had served as minister of power between 2015 and 2021, at a time when then-President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration had vowed to fight corruption.
