The disappearance of the erstwhile chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr. Ibrahim Lamorde is delaying the investigation into the alleged diversion of N1trn recovered stolen funds, the Senate said on Monday.
The Senate had commenced investigation into the corruption allegation levelled against Lamorde following a petition written by one Mr. George Uboh in August 2015. Uboh had accused Lamorde of diverting N1trn recovered stolen funds.
Thrice, the Senate had summoned him but he refused to appear but in November last year, he was represented by his lawyer Barrister Festus Keyamo who claimed his client has been sick and flown abroad for medication.
Our correspondent reports that it was in the course of the probe that President Muhammadu Buhari sacked him from the EFCC and since then he has been out of public scenes.
Our correspondent reports that there have been reports that the Senate had abandoned the probe. It would be recalled that Lamorde’s probe commenced at the upper chamber at a time when the EFCC was probing Mrs. Toyin Saraki, the wife of the Senate President over issues bordering on Kwara state funds.
But in an interview yesterday, the chairman of the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public petitions, Senator Samuel Anyanwu said the probe has not been abandoned
