Chairman of the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission, Mr. Ibrahim Lamorde may
not be renewed after his current 4 year tenure.
According to a top Presidency source on Thursday,
President Buhari would not renew Lamorde’s
tenure after it expires.
According to Punch, the official said:
“The impression is that the commission under
Lamorde has been sleeping since. Their recent
publicised activities are seen as just ways of
impressing the President and the man (Buhari)
cannot be fooled,”.

The source however said it was not clear
yet who the President is considering to take
over from Lamorde.
According to media reports, Lamorde is
currently being investigated over allegations of
diversion of over N1tn from the sale of
confiscated properties that belonged to
convicted public officials.
Lamorde said:
“The President does not need to order
a probe of what is already a subject of
the Senate’s investigation."
“Since the man is leaving office next month,
it is natural that politics of succession would
have started and that may be responsible for
the reports."
“Those who think the President may be
considering a renewal of tenure for him will
naturally come up with such reports,” He added.

information on the matter when he was asked on Thursday.
