The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has condoled with the family of their former Chairman, Ibrahim Lamorde.
Lamorde died at 61 in Egypt, where he had travelled for medical treatment.
Reacting to the development, in a statement on Sunday, the spokesperson for the anti-graft agency, Dele Oyewale, said the EFCC received the news of his death with shock.
Oyewale said, “The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission received with shock the sudden death of one of its former Executive Chairman, Mr Ibrahim Lamorde.
“Lamorde, pioneer Director of Operations and third substantive Chairman of the EFCC between February 15, 2012 and November 9, 2015, 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 Ccommission prays for the repose of his soul and comfort for his family, the EFCC and the entire nation.”
Born on 20 December 1962, Mr Lamorde joined the Nigerian Police in 1986 and retired as a Deputy Inspector General of Police in 2021.
