A witness presented by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has told the Federal High Court, Abuja, that a former Minister of Power, Saleh Mamman, allegedly fraudulently paid the dollar equivalent of N200 million in cash for the purchase of a five-bedroom property in Wuse, Abuja.
The EFCC, through its witness, Mohammed Ashelk Jidda, gave this testimony on Wednesday before Justice James Omotosho.
Nairametrics reports that the ex-minister is facing a 12-count amended money laundering charge brought against him by the EFCC, amounting to N33 billion.
