A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos has
barred men of the National Drug Law
Enforcement Agency, the Nigerian Police Force,
SSS and other security agencies from arresting
and extraditing embattled Senator-elect Buruji
Kashamu to the US over alleged drug related
offences.
While presiding over a case brought before
him by the legal team of Senator Kashamu this
morning, Justice Okon Abang described as
illegal, the attempted arrest and extradition of
Kashamu in relation to drug-trafficking
allegations which he had been previously
exonerated by two British courts. Justice Abang
ordered the NDLEA, Attorney General of the
Federation, National Adviser to President on
Security and the Nigeria Security and Civil
Defence Corps to pay Buruji Kashamu N20,000.
