Hehehe......The
Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions, says the
sack of former Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim
Lamorde by President Mohammadu Buhari on Monday, would not deter it from
proceeding with the planned probe, adding that Tuesday next week has
been fixed for his probe.

Speaking with the Punch, the Chairman of
the committee, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, yesterday said Lamorde had not
escaped the Senate probe despite his removal.
Anyanwu said, “Yes,
we are still going ahead with the investigation of allegations of
illegal diversion of funds levelled against the former EFCC chairman as
contained in the petition before our committee.
“As
a matter of fact, we have invited him to appear before us next week
Tuesday. He had been invited in his private capacity and not as the
chairman of the EFCC, so, the fact that he is no longer the chairman
does not stop us from going ahead with our investigation.”
The
committee chairman however did not disclose reasons why his committee
postponed the invitation of Lamorde from this week to Tuesday.
The
committee had on Monday in a statement released by its clerk, Mr.
Freedom Osolo, announced the indefinite postponement of the probe of the
former anti-graft agency without giving any reason.
The statement
reads, “I regret to inform you that the hearing of the Senate Committee
on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions slated for Tuesday, November
10, 2015, has been postponed for the time being.
“You
will be duly informed when the meeting is rescheduled, please. The
committee regrets any inconveniences the postponement would have caused
you.”
