The Police Service Commission (PSC) is mourning the loss of Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Ibrahim Lamorde, a retired police officer who passed away on Sunday, May 26th, 2024, at the age of 61, in Egypt, where he was receiving medical attention.
PSC Chairman, Dr. Solomon Arase, CFR, a retired Inspector General of Police, expressed shock and sadness at the news of Lamorde’s passing, describing him as a “consummate intelligence officer” who contributed immensely to the growth of intelligence policing in Nigeria.
Lamorde, who was born in 1962, joined the Nigeria Police Force in 1986 and rose through the ranks to become a Deputy Inspector General of Police before his retirement in 2021. He served as the 3rd Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) between 2011 and 2015.
Dr. Arase remembered Lamorde as a humble and temperate officer who remained committed to his duties throughout his career. He recalled advising Lamorde to further hone his policing and leadership skills at the Nigerian Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS) after he left the EFCC, which he accepted and which later positively shaped his career in the Nigeria Police Force.
“The training he got at NIPSS prepared him for the greater policing challenges he faced as he climbed the ladder of success,” Dr. Arase said.
Lamorde, who hails from Mubi in Adamawa State, will be remembered for his dedication and service to the nation. His loss is a great blow to the Nigeria Police Force and the entire nation.
The PSC Chairman extended his condolences to the family and friends of the late DIG Lamorde, and prayed for the repose of his soul.
