EFCC Mourns Its ‘Gallant Anti-graft Fighter’s Former Chairman, Ibrahim Lamorde

Ibrahim Lamorde, the former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has passed away in Egypt at the age of 61.

Lamorde had traveled to Egypt for medical treatment, and his death was confirmed by a close associate.

The deceased served as the third Executive Chairman of the EFCC from 2012 to 2015 and was known for his uncompromising stance against corruption.

“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 reads.
