Lamorde vs the senate keyamos letter to the senate committee on ethics
It appears you're referring to a notable controversy involving Lamorde, the former head of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Nigeria, and a letter written by Keyamo, a Nigerian lawyer and politician, to the Senate Committee on Ethics.
For context, Lamorde was accused of mismanaging funds and engaging in corrupt activities during his tenure as EFCC chairman. Keyamo, who was then a member of the Senate, wrote a letter to the Senate Committee on Ethics in 2016, alleging that Lamorde had committed various ethical breaches and requesting an investigation into his activities.
The letter, dated July 14, 2016, contained several allegations against Lamorde, including:
- Misappropriation of funds: Keyamo claimed that Lamorde had misappropriated funds meant for the EFCC's operations and used them for personal purposes.
- Abuse of office: Keyamo alleged that Lamorde had used his office to enrich himself and his associates, including by awarding contracts to companies linked to them.
- Conflict of interest: Keyamo claimed that Lamorde had failed to declare his assets and had engaged in business dealings that conflicted with his duties as EFCC chairman.
- Misconduct: Keyamo alleged that Lamorde had engaged in various forms of misconduct, including intimidation and harassment of witnesses and suspects.
Keyamo's letter requested that the Senate Committee on Ethics investigate Lamorde's activities and take appropriate action, including recommending his removal from office or prosecution.
The controversy surrounding Lamorde's tenure as EFCC chairman led to his eventual removal from office in 2015. The allegations made by Keyamo in his letter were part of the broader criticism of Lamorde's leadership and the EFCC's handling of corruption cases during his tenure.
