The Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and
Public Petitions will on Wednesday begin a probe of the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC), Ibrahim Lamorde, over an
allegation that he fraudulently diverted over N1tn proceeds of corruption
recovered by the anti-graft agency.
According to the Punch Newspaper, part of the
money alleged by a petitioner to have been diverted by the EFCC boss included the loot recovered from a former Governor
of Bayelsa State, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha; and ex-Inspector-General of Police, Tafa Balogun.
The
petitioner, Mr. George Uboh, whose complaint to the Senate prompted the probe,
has been invited to appear before the Senate committee at Meeting Room 120 of
the New Senate Building, National
Assembly Complex, Abuja, by 10am
on Wednesday.
