Ex-EFCC Chairman, Ibrahim Lamorde Passes on

Ibrahim Lamorde, the former chairman of the anti-graft agency, EFCC, is dead. He was 61.

Mr Lamorde died in Egypt where he had travelled for medical treatment, a close associate told PREMIUM TIMES Sunday morning.

While a police officer, he served as EFCC chairman between 2011 and 2015.

According to his profile on the EFCC website, Mr Lamorde was the third Executive Chairman of the Commission.

He was confirmed as the third substantive Chairman of the Commission by the Senate on 15 February 2012.
