Embattled Ogun State Senator elect, Buruji Kashamu has refused to surrender himself to officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, who stormed his Lagos residence this morning to convey him to court for his extradition trial.
Kashamu is insisting that the NDLEA Must Produce a warrant of arrest in line with the extradition treaty before he can be taken to court.
A short message sent to Journalists by Kashamu’s personal assistant, Austin Oniyokor reads: “It has just come to limelight that the NDLEA did not obtain a warrant of arrest from the court as required by the extradition treaty.
“Kashamu’s lawyer, Barrister Ajibola Oluyede requested from them the court we are going to only to be told that they are just going to file the papers as no court has been assigned the case or has ordered his arrest”.
Meanwhile, many of his supporters stormed the court on Monday in solidarity with the embattled senator-elect, carrying placards with various inscriptions.
Some of the messages on the placards reads: “Leave Kashamu alone”, “We voted for him, he is our man”, “Kashamu is a great state man”, “Kashamu is not a drug baron”, “Ilegal detention, illegal arrest must stop”. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
