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."
