Lamorde served as the third Executive Chairman of the EFCC, playing a significant role in the agency’s anti-graft operations. According to unconfirmed sources, ‘close associates’ disclosed that “Lamorde died on Sunday in Egypt, where he had travelled for medical treatment.”

Efforts to reach the EFCC spokesman, Dele Oyewale, for comments on the development were unsuccessful at the time of filing this report. Similarly, Lamorde’s family could not be reached for comments on Sunday morning.

Born on December 20, 1962, Ibrahim Lamorde joined the Nigeria Police Force in 1986. He had a distinguished career and retired as a Deputy Inspector-General of Police in 2021. His tenure at the EFCC was marked by several high-profile investigations and prosecutions, reinforcing the agency’s commitment to combating corruption in Nigeria.

Lamorde’s death marks the loss of a significant figure in Nigeria’s law enforcement and anti-corruption landscape. His contributions to the EFCC and the broader fight against corruption in Nigeria will be remembered.
