SENATE Committee on Ethics, Privileges
and Public Petitions at its sitting, Wednesday, to
hear a petition against the Chairman, Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim
Lamorde over allegation that the Commission
fraudulently diverted over N1trillion proceeds of
corruption recovered by the anti-graft agency,
walked out the Representatives of the
Commission.

Chairman of the Committee, Senator Samuel
Anyanwu, PDP, Imo who announced that the
Director, Legal of the EFCC, Chile Okoroma,
representative of Lamorde, Barrister Osuagwu
Ugochukwu and other staff of the EFCC should
leave the hall against the backdrop that having
written to be given enough time, ought not to
have been present at the meeting.

Anyanwu’s action came when Okoroma made
frantic efforts to respond to the petitioner, Mr.
George Uboh who had alleged that Lamorde
under remitted the money he recovered from
some Nigerians as well as traded with the money.
Lamorde was however absent as Chairman of the
Committee read a letter where the EFCC boss
pleaded for enough time to respond to the issues
raised by the petition.

Meanwhile, Lamorde’s representative, Barrister
Ugochukwu who spoke to Journalists shortly
after he was walked out along side others, said
that the EFCC boss asked him to represent him
( Lamorde) at the hearing, just as he expressed
his disappointment on the Senate Committee.

Eradication Of 'Kworruption' In Progress

Smh

Some pple will just like 2 create sometin out of nothin. Na wah

Thieves wan probe thief, how the thin go work

If Lamorde is innocent, he should be bold enough to go and clear his name.. Bush meat don catch d hunter... Hehehe

HMM

Ole

Just negodu the representatives!

Now the hunter is being hunted.

I HAVE A DREAM THAT THE HUNTER WILL BECOME THE HUNTED.

That EFCC boss is a smart man.
He wrote to the senate asking for more time
but still sent a representative incase the letter gets 'missing' in transit.
If hunter learn how to shoot monkey for tree,the monkey self go learn how jump from tree to tree without resting.

RockMaxi:



Initially I was thinking along this line but later it occured to me that Lamorde tactically use the representative to test their intention. Now he will know how to defend himself thoroughly. Senators are not smiling.

In saner climes, d guy would resign and face d matter squarely than put the reputation of the organisation on the line

Let's watch how this goes down.

The manner in which this country brings people to justice is an embarrassment!

Welcome to the zoo, the land of baboons and monkeys.

Hmm

shoro niyen?

If the EFCC cannot be trusted, then whom are we to trust?

It still amazes me how such amount could be said to be missing

Who made a PDP man the chairman of that committee?

Can you now see the result?

Nobody cares if a request was put in for more time for a full response. The people there should have been fully grilled. This is taxpayer funds we are talking about, and these senators are meant to represent us. What rubbish!

You must not have been to any of these 'saner climes' you talk about.
You resign when it's clear you're going to take a fall, and when your fall will harm your organisation.
If every official resigned after being summoned to a legislative panel, the US would have no chairman of the joint chief of staff, there would be no foreign secretaries etc.

hmm

I see..
