Mambilla: How and why Sunrise, Leno Adesanya, lost at ICC tribunal in Paris
Despite pressure from some of his aides, President Buhari remained unconvinced that Nigeria should pay USD 200, to Leno Adesanya and his Sunrise company regarding the Mambilla project. The post Mambilla: How and why Sunrise, Leno Adesanya, lost at ICC tribunal in Paris appeared first on Premium Times Nigeria .
The International Chamber of Commerce arbitration tribunal has ruled that former Nigerian Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, and Sunrise Power and Transmission Company promoter Leno Adesanya engaged in corrupt dealings concerning the Mambilla Hydroelectric Power Project. The tribunal's 616-page decision, rendered in Paris on September 16, 2026, found that Malami acted against Nigeria's interests and was motivated by other incentives.
The tribunal dismissed Sunrise's claims against Nigeria, stating that the settlement agreement lacked presidential approval and was unenforceable due to corruption. Furthermore, it concluded that Malami did not negotiate the settlement on Nigeria's behalf and had solicited a bribe during discussions with Adesanya. Malami was ordered to reimburse Sunrise and Adesanya $11.82 million in legal fees and $414,125 in arbitration costs.
