Event Summary

A Federal High Court in Abuja ordered the forfeiture of five additional properties linked to convicted former Minister of Power Saleh Mamman, who is serving a 75-year sentence for corruption and money laundering involving N33.8 billion. The court permanently forfeited Walijam Apartments in Abuja and ordered interim forfeiture of four other properties in Abuja and Kaduna. The Nigeria — Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) secured the order as part of ongoing asset recovery efforts, with less than N2 billion of the diverted N22 billion recovered so far.
