The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested former Minister of Power, Saleh Mamman, following his conviction and sentencing by a Federal High Court in Abuja over alleged financial misconduct during his tenure in office.
EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, confirmed that Mamman was apprehended around 3:30 a.m. on Tuesday.
According to reports, he was arrested in Kaduna alongside two persons accused of helping him evade authorities.
The anti-graft agency is also investigating the residence where the arrest was carried out.
Mamman served as Minister of Power between August 2019 and September 2021 after his appointment by former President Muhammadu Buhari and confirmation by the Senate.
He was removed from office in September 2021 and replaced by former Minister of State for Works and Housing, Abubakar Aliyu.
In May 2026, a Federal High Court convicted Mamman and sentenced him to 75 years in prison over fraud and money laundering involving more than N33.8 billion.
