Senator-elect, Ogun-East, Prince Buruji Kashamu, was said
to have threatened to kill himself if officials of the National
Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) forced their way
into his house, yesterday, claiming there was a court
injunction against the NDLEA’s action. Some of his friends
who claimed to have contacted him on phone between 7
and 9 am told Sunday Vanguard that Kashamu said he
would remain indoors till Monday.
But the narcotic agency explained that the operatives
mandate was to put the politician, who is also the
Chairman, Organisation and Mobilisation Committee of the
PDP in the South-West, under house arrest pending when
he would appear in court on Monday. The NDLEA
spokesman, Mitchel Ofoyeju , in a six paragraph statement,
yesterday, said: “A special team of NDLEA has confined
Ogun State senator-elect, Buruji Kashamu, to his Lagos
residence pending his appearance in court on Monday, May
25, 2015 to perfect his extradition to the United States.
“The agency has commenced extradition procedures
against Senator-elect Buruji Kashamu in line with the laws
of country. He has been in contact with his attorneys and
will appear in court on Monday.
“The residence of Buruji was raided by narcotic operatives
at about 5am today.
Further information will be communicated to the media”.
Kashamu
But Kashamu’s media aide, Mr Austine Oniypkor, described
the siege on his principal’s house as illegal, dismissing the
claim that the NDLEA had arrest warrant to that effect.
In a statement, Oniyokor said: “ Yes, at about 4:30am,
some men, who claimed to be from the NDLEA, surrounded
the Lekki Phase 1, Lagos residence of Prince Buruji
Kashamu to allegedly effect his arrest following a purported
extradition request from the US.
“This latest onslaught is a confirmation of the alleged plot to
illegally abduct him in spite of the pending suit against this
illegality. As a matter of fact, the court has ordered parties
in the matter, including the NDLEA, to maintain the status
quo until judgment is delivered on Wednesday, 27th May,
2015.
“We have confirmed that they do not have a warrant of
arrest, just as the office of the Attorney General of the
Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice has said that it did
not give any order to carry out this illegality. We have
confirmed that this illegality is being designed and executed
by Chief Bode George whose wife is the Director General of
the NDLEA, all in a bid to score cheap political points.
“We urge all well meaning Nigerians to prevail on NDLEA,
Chief George and his wife to toe the path of the rule of law
and follow due process. Nigeria is not a Banana republic!
The United States (US), being the bastion of democracy, the
rule of law and due process should not lend itself to this
kind of illegality”.
Kashamu had, of late, alleged a plot to abduct and extradict
to the US to answer drug related charges, citing information
leaked to his lawyer by a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN)
close to the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister
of Justice, Mohammed Adoke.
