Lamorde, The Former EFCC Chairman, Has Passed On

Ibrahim Lamorde, 61, was a former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
According to reports, Lamorde passed away while undergoing medical care in Egypt.

In a statement, EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale confirmed Lamorde’s passing and said it was unexpected and surprising.

He claimed that Lamorde actively served the country as a determined and valiant anti-graft warrior.

“He will be sorely missed both at the EFCC and the nation at large. The Commission prays for the repose of his soul and comfort for his family, the EFCC and the entire nation,” the statement added.

Larmode was the EFCC chairman between 2012 and 2015.

President Goodluck Jonathan appointed Lamorde in an acting capacity as chairman of the anti-graft agency on November 23, 2011 after the removal of Farida Waziri.

The Senate confirmed him as the third substantive chairman of the commission on February 15, 2012.

Lamorde was born on December 20, 1962, in Mubi, Adamawa state, and attended Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, where he graduated with a bachelor of arts degree in sociology in 1984.

May his soul rest in perfect peace. Please accept my condolences

Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy

One ❤️❤️❤️
