The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has appeared to mock former Minister of Power, Saleh Mamman, with a satirical graphic referencing his 75-year prison sentence for money laundering.
The commission shared the image in a public notice featuring Mamman holding an EFCC identification board, with the caption, “A Suitable Hand Fan for El-Nino” and the hashtag #RememberThisFace.
The graphic appears to reference Mamman’s conviction in a N33.8bn money laundering case involving funds allegedly diverted during his tenure as minister.
The post comes months after a Federal High Court in Abuja convicted the former minister on all 12 counts brought against him by the EFCC.
Mamman’s 75-year prison sentence
On May 7, 2026, Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja convicted Mamman on all 12 counts of money laundering.

The court subsequently sentenced him to a total of 75 years’ imprisonment on May 13, with the sentences ordered to run consecutively.
Mamman was arrested by the EFCC in Kaduna on May 19 after failing to appear when the court delivered its judgment and sentence.
He was subsequently transferred to the Kuje Correctional Centre to begin serving his prison term.
The former minister has, however, challenged his conviction, with his lawyers filing an appeal seeking to overturn the judgment.
