Ibrahim Lamorde, a former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), passed away in Cairo, Egypt, on Sunday, according to sources.

He was reportedly in Cairo for a routine medical checkup when doctors discovered an underlying condition that necessitated surgery. 
 
The late anti-graft Boss died at the age of 61.
 
While initial reports indicated the surgery was successful, Lamorde developed complications three days later and succumbed to them. 
 
Mr. Lamorde was the third Executive Chairman of the Commission, whose tenure as EFCC chairman ran between 2011 and 2015. He was a prominent figure in Nigeria’s fight against corruption, leading the commission in several high-profile cases. 
 
Details surrounding the specific nature of his ailment and the surgery have not yet been made public.
