 Alleged N33bn Fr@ud: Ex-Power Minister Saleh Mamman coll@pses in court


A former Minister of Power, Saleh Mamman on Thursday, July 11,  coll@psed outside the courtroom at a Federal High Court, Abuja.


The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Mamman, whose plea was fixed for Thursday morning, coll@psed outside the courtroom before the case was called.


The former minister’s counsel, Femi Ate, SAN, told Justice James Omotosho shortly when he was called to take his plea.


Upon resumed hearing, the ex-minister walked into the courtroom and stepped into the dock with part of his clothes drenched.


Justice Omotosho then asked why Mamman was sweating, pressed to know whether it was raining outside.


The former minister responded from the dock that he was soaked with the water that was poured to resuscitate him.


Speaking, Ate said Mamman, “upon being brought into the premises of the court coll@psed and had to be resuscitated and treated by the medical personnel of the Federal High Court.”


The former minister explained to the court that he coll@psed outside the courtroom because of the drugs he took when he had not eaten, and while he was outside the courtroom waiting to be called, his blood pressure dropped.


Mamman, however, said he was fit to continue with the arraignment.


It would be recalled that the EFCC had filed a 12-count money laundering charge against Mamman to the tune of N33 billion.


The former minister, who was arrested on May 10, 2021 in Abuja, was accused of conspiring with staff of the ministry in charge of the accounts of the Zungeru and Mambilla Hydro Electric Power projects to divert about N22 billion.


Investigations uncovered property in Nigeria and overseas allegedly linked to the suspects, while millions of naira and dollars had reportedly been recovered.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the unions
