Gombe!! Buhari To Sack EFCC Boss Today Over Fraud Allegations

ADVERT

Global Village Extra, a US-based online newspaper, has reported that president Muhammadu Buhari will sack Ibrahim Lamorde, chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) today.

The newspaper noted that the termination is not unconnected to a trillion naira fraud scam against the anti-graft commission’s chairman, which has tarnished the image of the agency.

One George Uboh, a petitioner who appeared before the Nigerian Senate committee yesterday, had alleged that Lamorde gave choice properties seized from former Bayelsa State Governor, DSP Alamieyesigha and others, to Usman Lamorde, his younger brother.


The petitioner also provided facts on how Lamorde allegedly diverted a massive N2.5trillion from seized properties and funds of individuals under investigation by EFCC.

It is now almost certain that the Nigerian president has approved the immediate sack and replacement of Lamorde, who will be probed immediately afterwards.
