Chairman of the Eco­nomic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr. Ibrahim Lamorde, yesterday said allegations that he looted about N1 trillion recovered from former Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Tafa Balogun, former governor of Bayelsa State, late Chief Diepreye Ala­mieyeseigha, among others, is the handiwork of blackmailers. Lamorde said the blackmail­ers were recruited by corrupt Nigerians to derail the EFCC.

A statement signed by the Commission’s Head of Me­dia and Publicity, Mr. Wil­son Uwujaren described Mr. George Uboh, who raised the allegations against Lamorde in a petition to the Senate Com­mittee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions, as a con­victed wire fraudster, who was being prosecuted by the EFCC at the High Court of the Feder­al Capital Territory, Abuja for alleged “conversion of proper­ties of the Police Equipment Foundation.”

The commission, the state­ment said, maintained “dig­nified silence over the past couple of weeks, not because it had anything to hide, but pre­ferred to wait for the report of KPMG, the international audit firm which it commissioned in June 2014 to undertake a forensic audit of the record of exhibits and assets recovered by the commission since the creation of EFCC in 2003.”
