FORMER EFCC CHAIRMAN, IBRAHIM LAMORDE, DIES IN EGYPT

A former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Rtd DIG Ibrahim Lamorde is dead!

Mr Lamorde died in Egypt where he had travelled for medical treatment.

Ibrahim Lamorde was born on 20 December 1962 in Mubi, Adamawa State. He attended Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, graduating with a B.A in Sociology in 1984 before joining the Nigerian Police Force on 1st February 1986, and from 1987 to 1988 worked at the Niger State Police Command in Minna.

From 1988 to 1989 he was Divisional Crime Officer in Rijau, Niger State. He then served as Police Public Relations Officer for the Niger State Police Command from 1989 to 1993.

In 1993 Lamorde was appointed an officer of the newly created Special Fraud Unit (SFU) of the Nigeria Police, serving in the unit charged with investigating advance-fee fraud until 2002. One of Lamorde’s colleagues at the SFU was Farida Waziri.

While in the SFU, from 2000 to 2001 he was seconded to the United Nations Civilian Police in the Ermera District of East Timor as a Chief Investigation Officer. Lamorde was a Divisional Police Officer in Ojoo, Oyo State before being deployed to the Police Force Headquarters in Abuja.

When the EFCC wascreated in 2003 and headed by Nuhu Ribadu, Lamorde was made Director of Operations.

In December 2007, Ribadu was removed from his post by president Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, ostensibly to attend a training course. Lamorde took over as Acting Chairman in January 2008, holding this position until Farida Waziri was appointed Chairperson in May 2008.

He was then posted to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in Ningi, Bauchi State as Area Commander and later AC ‘A’ Police College, Kaduna (2009 – 2010).

In December 2010 Lamorde returned to the EFCC, again as Director of Operations.

When Farida Waziri was dismissed on 23 November 2011, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Lamorde was again appointed Acting Chairman.

A number of other senior police officers were said to be competing for the position of EFCC Chairman. Lamorde’s association with Waziri dating back to their days with the SFU was seen as a handicap.

However, Lamorde was confirmed as substantive Chairman of the EFCC on 15th February 2012 until his sack by former President Muhammadu Buhari on November 09, 2015 and replaced with Ibrahim Magu.

He attended the National Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies, Kuru, Jos and was deployed as Police Commissioner in the Police Special Fraud Unit (PSFU), Ikoyi – Lagos.

He was promoted Assistant Inspector-General (AIG) of Police on 10th January 2019 and subsequently redeployed to head the Directorate of Intelligence on July 03, 2020.

Lamorde was elevated to Deputy Inspector-General (DIG) of Police in 2020 and headed the Force Intelligence Bureau Department, a position he held until his retirement in 2021.Lamorde was a member of the Nigerian Institute of Management and the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations

    36 STATE ASSEMBLIES ADOPT, RATIFY HARMONIZED STANDING ORDERS

    36 STATE ASSEMBLIES ADOPT, RATIFY HARMONIZED STANDING ORDERS To tackle discrepancies in suspension, impeachment of members and other legislative procedures, the 36 states’ Houses of Assembly have adopted and ratified the use of harmonised standing orders. The rules to be adopted at each of the 36 Houses of Assembly aim to ensure unity across the states in implementing disciplinary issues of suspension and impeachment, removal of presiding officers and other members, the conduct of budgetary processes, and confirmation of appointments forwarded by the executive arm of government. The harmonised orders also deal with the conduct of the election of presiding officers, adoption of legislative reports, statutory reports, and resolutions, ratifying constitutional alterations and treaties, the establishment of special, ad hoc committees, and the conduct of executive sessions. The harmonised standing orders were adopted and ratified when the Conference of Speakers of State Legislatures of Nigeria converged on Lagos, on Thursday, for a workshop organised by the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung in collaboration with the National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies. In his remarks, the Chairman of the Conference of Speakers, Adebo Ogundoyin, noted that by adopting the harmonised standing orders, Nigeria was joining other countries like the United States of America, South Africa and Rwanda which had harmonised legislative frameworks. Ogundoyin, who is the Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, noted that the harmonised standing orders for states would ensure that state legislatures have standardised rules, which would give their actions and ensure accountable governance. Ogundoyin expressed optimism that the various Houses of Assembly would adopt the uniform rules for use in their states, within the next three months. “This monumental step forward, which began in 2021 is not just a procedural reform; it is a strategic step towards strengthening the efficiency, transparency, and uniformity of legislative operations across all states Houses of Assembly. By standardising our legislative rules, we are enhancing collaboration, improving legislative oversight, and ultimately ensuring a more responsive and accountable governance framework at the sub-national level. “We are happy to draw inspiration from our partners, the German Government and the United States of America, whose 50 states operate a centralised standing order. “On the African continent, South Africa and Rwanda stand tall in this regard, and Nigeria is set to join the list of countries with harmonised legislative frameworks, further solidifying our commitment to democratic governance and institutional strengthening,” Ogundoyin said. Setting the tone for the event, Resident Representative, Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung Nigeria, Marija Peran, said harmonising the assemblies’ rules aimed to create a standardised approach that fosters collaboration, reduces procedural discrepancies and enhances the overall effectiveness of the legislative bodies. Pointing to the imbroglio in the Lagos and Rivers states Houses of Assembly, Peran noted that the harmonisation of standing orders would ensure consistency, transparency and efficiency in the legislative processes. With the harmonised standing orders, she said state Houses of Assembly were on the path of a more cohesive legislative environment. “We are only two and a half months into 2025 and some states’ Houses of Assembly have already been shaken up massively. This shows us that we cannot take either stability or democratic processes for granted. “As we further embark on this journey, it is essential to reflect on the significance of uniform standing orders within the states’ Houses of Assembly. These orders serve as the backbone of legislative procedures, ensuring consistency, transparency and efficiency in the legislative processes. “The objectives of harmonising these orders are clear: to create a standardised approach that fosters collaboration, reduces procedural discrepancies and enhances the overall effectiveness of the legislative bodies,” she said. The Director-General, National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies, Prof Abubakar Sulaiman, noted the vulnerability of legislatures as a result of executive interference. He stressed that the…
