Corruption In EFCC Shocking – Lamorde

Friday, March 23, 2012

Chairman of the EFCC, Lamorde, who made the disclosure yesterday at a two-day Public-Private Sector Workshop on Corruption, organised by the United Nations Global Compact, UNGC, and the Nigeria Economic Summit Group, NESG, in Abuja, expressed dismay that the commission had succumbed to the "determination of grand patrons of corruption to foist their nefarious ways of life on the rest of us."

He noted: "By the time I returned to the EFCC at the instance of the President, I was profoundly shocked to find that many of those I was supposed to send out to carry out the Commission's mandate on certain individuals were themselves enmeshed in corruption.

"EFCC had to do some introspection and we realised that we could ill-afford to raise a finger against the behemoth of corruption if we did not first put our house in order.

"We needed to tell ourselves the bitter truth, which is that the corruption we had been set up to fight, amongst other economic and financial crimes, had permeated the very fabric of the EFCC!

"I was roundly shocked to discover that the EFCC of today was not the one we worked so hard to build nine years ago. I had on my hands, a totally strange organisation, one whose operatives responded to a stimulus other than that of patriotic call to service."

Lie detector tests

Lamorde explained that in the last four months, the Commission had been "quietly invoking Section 7 (1) (b) on ourselves. The lifestyle and property of certain key officers are being probed. So far, four of them have lost the privilege to belong to the EFCC family and are answering questions in courts across the nation.

"We are also undertaking as part of EFCC's ethical re-awakening, to subject ourselves to lie detector tests two or three times every year. I would also take part in the polygraph tests."

Lamorde you are in the muck and you smell of the rot. Stop complaining because you are a product of the corrupt EFCC you are talking about.

The equivalent of having Boko Haram in Aso Rock. You have to 'love' this silly joke of a country.

Corrupt you met it,corrupt you will leave it.I wish you were sincere and not go the way of your predecessors.Lets wait and see.Fingers crossed...

Corruption is a way of life in nigeria

Our deliverance is still far ahead.

I agree with you.

EFCC=Economically and FInancially Corrupt Commission"

Nigeria is a failed state....bt when i say dis pple will feel offended. Every sector in dis country is corrupt...banking,civil service,even d citizens as a whole. We are all soaked dip in corruption and its pathetic. Corruption is d order of d day,its a normal trend....dats y we will never grow as a nation and i repeat NEVER. Na una go church and mosque pass bt una heart black pass coal tar. Mtshewwww.

Lamorde! Lamorde!! Lamorde!!!. How many times did I call you. Remember, he who goes to equity must go with clean hands.
I hope this doesn't turn out to be a look-alike case of Mr. AbdulRasheed Maina who raised the alarm... you know the rest of the story.
Best regards.

This should not be an excuse for him not to achieve his set objectives.

when he is replaced, him yash go show too! 'ole gbogbo'

i expect this lamorde of a thing to use the exact word of the man that employed him. just tell us that a cabal is blocking ur efforts and we will understand. tomorrow u will be hoping to be the world bank director.

I think he is telling us that but in a round about way when he says that [b]the commission had succumbed to the "determination of grand patrons of corruption to foist their nefarious ways of life on the rest of us."

But who is going to deliver the rest of us from the stranglehold of these grand patrons of corruption who from all indications are bent on choking the rest of us to death.

Thank God, you survived the shock. Oya do something. The ball is in your court.

Word. Nigeria will never grow as a nation. The only thing in Nigeria that will grow are the church and mosque.

U don win!

Serious mata!!!

Why is he trying to form holy holy as if he was not the person in charge of operations under farida ? I tire this guy o.

He has to stay what is expected of him na (condemn corruption.

Pastor wey dey commit adultery e mean say him no go preach say adultery done too much? him work na to preach.

I don't know what more to do about this nation. I am absolutely helpless. Nigeria is perhaps the only nation in the world that knows the solution to their problems but they will never act to alleviate such problems. they would rather continue suffering. Everyone knows that corruption is the biggest threat to our existence as a nation.Everyone knows that before we can make progress in our well being as a nation, we need to fight corruption. Everyone knows that we were given the opportunity to elect an honest leader who will trigger the war on corruption. Everyone know that Buhari was an honest man (although he may have his faults). Everyone knows these for facts. Yet they opted to elect as their leader someone who will keep farting on their heads 2-4-7 and will keep calling it fresh air. NO ONE SHOULD EXPECT ANY GAINS ON THE WAR AGAINST CORRUPTION UNDER GEJ'S REGIME.

manmustwac: Word. Nigeria will never grow as a nation. The only thing in Nigeria that will grow are the church and mosque.

And PoPULATION..... Lmao...
