Lamorde’s appointment came after the President ordered the sack of Mrs Farida Waziri over
undisclosed reasons.
Late President Umaru Yar’Adua in May 18, 2008 appointed Mrs. Waziri as the chairman of the anti-graft agency.
Farida Mzamber Waziri born in July, 1946 enlisted into the Nigeria Police Force in 1965 and rose to the position of Assistant Inspector General of Police.
She held the positions of Assistant Commissioner of Police (Operations), screening and selection, Assistant/Deputy Commissioner of Police Force C.I.D Alagbon, Lagos, Commissioner of Police, General Investigation and Commissioner of Police in charge of X-Squad.
In this last position she was responsible for handling cases of bribery and corruption within the police force.
She also served as Commissioner of Police (special fraud unit) in which role she recorded the first conviction for Advance Fee Fraud in Nigeria.
Farida Mzamber Waziri has law degree from the University of Lagos and Masters degree in Law from the Lagos State University.
Abeg o! They should let us know what led to the sack of Waziri... I will keep you guys posted as soon as I find out.
