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.
EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede said operatives traced him via his phone to an apartment in Kaduna’s Rigasa area at 3:30 a.m., also arresting two persons who allegedly harboured him.
Olukoyede declared, “The eagle eye of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission will always catch up with you wherever you are hiding.”
