Fraud
Allegations: Buhari May Sack EFCC Boss Today
Global Village Extra, a
US-based online newspaper, has reported that President Muhammadu Buhari will
sack Ibrahim Lamorde, the chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) today.
The
newspaper noted that the expected sack is connected to an alleged trillion
naira fraud perpetrated by the anti-graft commission’s chairman, which has
tarnished the image of the agency.
Barring last minute developments, Ibrahim Lamorde may be fired
by the Nigerian president today.
George Uboh, a petitioner who appeared before the Nigerian
Senate committee yesterday, had alleged that Lamorde gave choice properties
seized from the former Bayelsa State Governor, DSP Alamieyesigha and others, to
Usman Lamorde, his younger brother.
The petitioner also provided information on how Lamorde
allegedly diverted a massive N2.5 trillion from seized properties and funds of
individuals under investigation by the EFCC.
It
is now almost certain that President Buhari has approved the immediate sacking
and replacement of Lamorde, who will be investigated immediately afterwards.
