Former EFCC Chairman, Lamorde Flown Abroad For Urgent Medical Attention by austentero: 10:05am On Nov 19, 2015 |
According to fresh reports the immediate past Chairman of the EFCC, Ibrahim Lamorde has been flown out of the country for urgent medical attention following his ailing health. The embatteld former Chairman of the anti-graft agency may have been flown abroad for the treatment of undisclosed ailment, The Nation gathered on Tuesday, November 17. Lamorde, who was billed to appear before the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions yesterday, failed to honour the invitation triggering insinuation that he had fled the country to evade Senate probe of the alleged diversion of N1 trillion leveled against him. An activist, Dr. George Ubah, wrote a petition to that Senate claiming the Lamorde in his capacity as the EFCC Chairman diverted over N1 trillion recovered by the commission. Lagos lawyer, Festus Keyamo, who stood in for Lamorde, defended him, saying: “He (Lamorde) is still a policeman, he has no reason to go on exile. Lamorde has served this country very well and let me tell you this if you don’t know. The only way to succeed as the chairman of EFCC is for you not to succeed at all." “Lamorde is not here today, not out of disrespect to the committee. It is a matter of complete misunderstanding of issues at stake. When Lamorde was invited to this committee, he was invited as chairman of EFCC and between then and now circumstances had changed. “He is no longer the chairman of EFCC. So, because of that, he thought that would be the end of his invitation because he was invited in that capacity. “He then handed over the case and traveled for medicals. It was in his absence that the second letter came and addressed as the immediate past EFCC chairman. The fact that he is no longer the chairman, he can no longer be invited except as a witness.” The Chairman of the committee, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, noted that Senate does not accept representation when it invites anybody to appear before it. A member of the committee, Senator Obinna Ogba, wondered why Lamorde failed to live by example being a man who was a former boss of the anti-graft agency that usually invited people to appear before it. He said the non appearance of Lamorde at the probe was disrespectful to the Senate. Senator Tayo Alasoadura, who is also a member of the committee, said: “We are in a situation whereby people are showing their shamelessness.” Alasoadura questioned the capacity in which Keyamo was in the Senate being a lawyer to the EFCC “and the man he claimed to represent is no longer in office as chairman.” The Chairman of the committee stopped Keyamo half way insisting that anybody could be invited by the Senate panel to come and give evidence. Keyamo later told newsmen that the committee was wrong to have insisted that Lamorde must appear before it. He said: “The constitution is very clear as to those who can be subject to investigation by section 88, 89 of the constitution. By section 88, 89 of the constitution the Senate has powers over two categories of persons." http://www.tori.ng/news/13618/embattled-former-efcc-chairman-lamorde-flown-abroa.html

MY PEOPLE WHICH OF THESE WOULD YOU HOLD TIGHT? |
