EFCC Chairman Ibrahim Lamorde has
been sacked and replaced with Ibrahim
Magu, a top level official of the
Economic and Governance Unit of the
EFCC.

Ibrahim Magu has been elevated to
the position of chairman of the
commission.

Magu is remembered as a no-
nonsense investigator of the
commission at its inception. He was
removed along with several other
key officials by Farida Waziri when
she became chairman in 2008.

Mr Lamorde was removed on
Monday by President Muhammadu
Buhari.

He was seen at the Presidential Villa,
where he allegedly held a last
meeting with the President.
No reason has been given for his
sack.

There are also indications that he
may have been replaced, but his
successor has not been named.

Mr Lamorde took over as the
chairman of the anti-graft agency on
23 November, 2011 after chairman
Farida Waziri was dismissed by the
former President, Goodluck
Jonathan.
