A Federal High Court in Lagos on Wednesday restrained security agencies in Nigeria from arresting and transporting the Senator-elect for Ogun East Senatorial District, Mr. Buruji Kashamu, to the United States to stand trial on drug-trafficking offences.
Justice Okon Abang, in a judgement on Wednesday, declared as illegal, the arrest and extradition of Kashamu in relation to drug-trafficking allegations from which he had been exonerated by two British courts.
Abang granted Kashamu’s prayer that having earlier obtained a judgment in Nigeria in January 2014 barring his arrest and extradition and the judgment having not been set aside, he could not be arrested and extradited.
The judge awarded a cost in the sum of N20,000 against the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, the Attorney General of the Federation, the National Security Adviser to the President, and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps.

ReplyDeleteHumpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall;
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again.
We now know why Buruji out of annoyance and frustration with impending extradition now clearly facing him lashed out on the Ogun State Chapter PDP Chairman during their meeting in Abuja while Buruji's companion in crime, Capital Oil Ubah could not help himself but cry like a baby.
It takes a lot of courage for a real man to face is impending doom and final demise.
What we have here are nothing but a bunch of lily-livered cowards. What a shame.
Lobatan!!!!
