Ibrahim Lamorde

Documents tended as evidence by the anti-graft agency, has been received by the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petition, over the allegations of fraudulent diversion of more than N1 trillion by Ibrahim Lamorde, the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

At the opening session of the hearing, which commenced in the National Assembly, George Uboh, the petitioner, said that more than 95 per cent of foreign seizures by the agency were also diverted, including the loot recovered from Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, a former Governor of Bayelsa State; and Tafa Balogun, The former Inspector-General of Police,.
The Economic and Financial Crime Commission boss was not present to state his own part as the commission had written to the committee to ask to be allowed more time to gather useful documents and given another date to appear before the committee to answer to the petition.

An official of the anti-graft agency, who was present at the event however, questioned the propriety of the committee, saying that  George Uboh, who is the petitioner should not have been allowed to present his case in the absence of the committee.
