Ibrahim Lamorde, the former chairman of Nigeria’s anti-graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has passed away at the age of 61. Mr. Lamorde died in Egypt, where he had traveled for medical treatment, according to a close associate.

He held the position until November 9, 2015, when President Buhari replaced him with Ibrahim Magu.
