Following the soon to commence
probe of the chairman of the
Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, Ibrahim Lamorde, by
the senate committee on ethics,
privileges and public petitions, the
EFCC boss has declared his
readiness to answer questions from
the committee.
Lamorde also denied diverting
N1trillion of assets recovered from
corrupt officials, as alleged by the
managing director of Public Alert
Security Systems, George Uboh, who
petitioned the senate committee.

The committee has already
summoned Lamorde to appear them
on Wednesday when an investigation
into the matter begins, Premium
Times reports.
In a statement signed by the head
of media and publicity of EFCC,
Wilson Uwajuren, Lamorde said he
had no fear as regards the probe
noting that he has no objection to
any “request for information
regarding its activities by
individuals, groups or organs of
government; so far as such requests
followed due process of law”.
The statement also revealed that the
anti-graft body has commissioned
KPMG to carry out a comprehensive
audit of exhibits and forfeited assets
in 12 years of its existence, adding
that the report would be made
public at the end of the exercise.
“The EFCC as an agency that is
founded on transparency is not
afraid of any ‘probe’ or request for
information regarding its activities
by individuals, groups or organs of
government; so far as such requests
followed due process of law,” the
statement said.
“The EFCC under Lamorde did not
need the prompting of anyone, when
it commissioned a reputable
international audit firm, KPMG to
carry out comprehensive audit of
exhibits and forfeited assets of the
Commission from 2003 to date. The
report of the audit will be made
public once it is ready.
“Were the Commission to be jittery
about its records, it would not have
embarked on such audit, “ the
statement said.
In a related development, a former
boss of the EFCC, Mallam Nuhu
Ribadu, has revealed that, most
national investments are done with
money gotten
through illegal means.
