The Federal High Court in Maitama, Abuja, has ordered the final forfeiture of one property and the interim forfeiture of four others linked to former Minister of Power, Saleh Mamman, who is serving a 75-year prison sentence for corruption.

Justice James Omotosho delivered the ruling while granting an application by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for the forfeiture of the assets.

The court permanently forfeited Walijam Apartments, located at No. 43, Plot 435, Lobito Crescent, Wuse 2, Abuja, after holding that the EFCC had successfully established that the property was acquired with proceeds of unlawful activities.

Justice Omotosho also granted interim forfeiture orders over four other properties pending the determination of any claims by interested parties.

The affected properties include Bloom Luxury Suites Nigeria Limited on No. 5 Amana Crescent, New Estate, Unguwan Rimi, Kaduna State; a mansion at No. 11 Misratah Street, Wuse 2, Abuja; another property at No. 13 Misratah Street, Wuse 2, Abuja; and A.U.A Plaza on Plot 734 Kade Street, Wuse 2, Abuja.

The judge directed the EFCC to publish the interim forfeiture order in a national newspaper within seven days to allow any interested party to appear before the court and show cause why the properties should not be permanently forfeited to the Federal Government.

Mamman was prosecuted by the EFCC on an amended 12-count charge bordering on corruption and money laundering involving N33.8 billion.

Justice Omotosho convicted the former minister on all 12 counts on May 7, 2026, and sentenced him to a cumulative 75 years' imprisonment on May 13, 2026.

In addition to the prison sentence, the court ordered Mamman to refund N22 billion traced to him by the EFCC.

The latest forfeiture order is in addition to other assets recovered from the former minister during the course of the investigation and trial.
