 Saleh Mamman’s Trial: Court to Deliver Judgment June 9


Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court, Maitama, Abuja on Thursday, April 23, 2026 slated June 9, 2026 for judgment in the trial of the former Minister of Power, Saleh Mamman for fraud.


Mamman is being prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC on a 12-count charge  bordering on conspiracy to commit money laundering to the tune of N33,804,830,503.73 (Thirty-three Billion, Eight Hundred and Four Million, Eight Hundred and Thirty Thousand, Five Hundred and Three Naira, Seventy-three Kobo).


At the proceedings, Mamman’s counsel, Femi Atteh, SAN, stated that he filed his final written address on behalf of the defendant on April 1, 2026, and had also filed a reply to the prosecution’s final written address.


Atteh further stated that the defence team relies on the submissions in the applications to urge the court to discharge and acquit Mamman.


Prosecution counsel, Rotimi Oyedepo, SAN,  in his response, informed the court that the prosecution team filed its final written address on April 14, 2026 and urged the court to convict the defendant on all 12-count charges. 


“Your lordship, what is important is the fact that funds left a particular government account and went to a BDC (Bureau de Change) account. The BDC came before my lord to say that it received this money.  The BDC went ahead to tell your lordship how he was carrying money to the defendant’s house. The boy who was working with the defendant also came to testify how he was receiving some of these monies on the instruction of the defendant. How else is the prosecution supposed to prove this matter? The evidence before your lordship is clear,” he said.


He urged the court to discountenance the submission of the defence and convict the defendant.  


Justice Omotosho adjourned the matter till June 9, 2026 for judgment.
