My exit from EFCC, “an act of God” – Lamorde

L-R: Ibrahim Magu and Ibrahim Lamorde
Ibrahim Lamorde has described his exit from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, as “an act of God”.
Lamorde stated this when he officially handed over to his successor, Ibrahim Magu who was appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari in acting capacity.
Waxing a bit religious, Lamorde described his exit as “an act of God”, saying, “if you see it like that you won’t blame anybody, and you will have peace of mind. Let’s take whatever happens as an act of God.”
“As a human being, you have the right to disagree with someone, but if you disagree with your leader approach him yourself, instead of going out there to grumble,” he said.
According to him, those who engage in such actions are apparently oblivious of the far-reaching impact of their actions, which goes beyond the Commission and the individual.
Describing Magu as a “brother, colleague and friend”, Lamorde urged members of staff to give the new EFCC boss all the support that is needed to move the anti-graft agency forward.
“He needs all the support and encouragement he can get, and he should not be distracted with unnecessary write-ups,” he said.
The handover ceremony was witnessed by the Secretary to the Commission, Emmanuel Adegboyega Aremo, as well as directors and heads of units of the EFCC.
