Former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr. Ibrahim Lamorde, has passed away at the age of 61.
Mr. Lamorde, who was the third Executive Chairman of the anti-corruption agency, reportedly died on Sunday morning in Egypt, where he had gone for medical treatment.
Confirming Lamorde’s death in a statement, EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, described it as sudden and shocking.
He said Lamorde served the nation actively as a focused and gallant anti- graft fighter.
“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.
