A former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Mr. Ibrahim Lamorde, has died in Egypt. He was aged 61.
He reportedly died of kidney stone.
His corpse will be brought to Nigeria on Monday for Islamic burial.
Lamorde reportedly died during a procedure to remove the stone.
Lamorde was born on the 20th of December 1962 in Mubi, Adamawa State.
Reports said his death was an irony as he had flown his wife to Egypt for treatment.
Lamorde attended Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Sociology in 1984.
He joined the Nigerian Police Force in 1986 and became the substantive chairman of the EFCC on 15 February 2012.
He was, however, replaced by former President Muhammadu Buhari with AIG Ibrahim Magu on November 9, 2015.
