Details have emerged on how EFCC operatives tracked and arrested former Minister of Power, Saleh Mamman, in Kaduna State following weeks of surveillance after his conviction.
Mamman was convicted on 12 counts of money laundering and fraud totalling N33.8bn linked to the diversion of funds from the Mambilla and Zungeru hydropower projects, and sentenced in absentia to 75 years imprisonment.
