The Senate has declared the former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr. Ibrahim Lamorde, wanted over his role in the N1 trillion the agency recovered from treasury looters but which reportedly disappeared from its coffers.
At its plenary session on Thursday, the Senate directed its Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions to issue a warrant of arrest on Lamorde to answer charges on how the N1 trillion disappeared from the EFCC’s custody under his watch.
The Upper House had on Tuesday, October 6, 2015, directed the Ethics Committee to investigate a petition presented before it by Senator Peter Nwaoboshi (Delta North).
Nwaoboshi had drawn the attention of the Senate to a petition by one Dr. George Uboh against Lamorde, for alleged financial crimes and corruption, and urged the Senate to probe the matter.
