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.
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.
