The Monarch in a statement described Lamorde as a competent, highly resourceful, respected, and accomplished anti Corruption Crusader. Lamurde was an uncompromising and trustworthy Police Officer who served Nigeria diligently and remained steadfast towards the stability and economic development of Nigeria. He envisaged a Corruption-free nation on which basis he established his principle both in and out of office.
The statement noted that as a Nigerian saddled with the onerous responsibility of waging war against corruption nationwide, DIG Ibrahim Lamorde brought to bear on his job the array of detective trainings and experiences, and played a critical role towards rescuing Nigeria from the grip of the cancer called corruption.

The Bachama Traditional Council commiserates with the Lamorde family, the Mubi Emirate Council the government and people of Adamawa State, and prayed God to grant him eternal rest.
