Face Your Problem, Not Obasanjo, George, NDLEA Tells Kashamu by Mcpadosky(m): 10:13pm On May 24, 2015
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has
called on businessman and politician, Mr. Buruji
Kashamu, to concentrate on the facts of his suit to
stop his extradition to the US rather than dragging
former President Olusegun Obasanjo and former
Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic
Party, Chief Olabode George, into his personal
problem.
This was contained in a statement by the NDLEA
spokesman, Mitchell Ofoyeju, on Sunday.
Ofoyeju reiterated that a formal request for the
extradition of Kashamu, a Senator-elect in Ogun
State on the platform of the PDP, had been received
from the Embassy of the United States of America.
The statement read in part, “According to official
report, Kashamu has been on the wanted list of both
the US Drug Enforcement Administration and
Immigration and Customs Enforcement of the
Department of Homeland Security.
“Kashamu was indicted in the Northern District of
Illinois, United States, on charges brought against
him by ICE.
“According to the United States court documents,
Kashamu, in his days as the leader of a prolific
heroin trafficking ring based in Chicago, Illinois, was
known as ‘God,’ ‘Daddy,’ and ‘Kasmal’.
“He is wanted to stand trial on charges of
conspiracy and importation of controlled
substances, namely heroin, into the United States
dating back to 1994.”
Ofoyeju added that Kashamu had taken multiple pre-
emptive actions to thwart US extradition efforts such
as making fanciful claims that “his is a case of
mistaken identity, and that his deceased brother was
responsible for the crimes he is being sought after in
the United States.”
Media aide to Kashamu, Austin Oniyokor, however,
berated the anti-narcotic agency for acting as the
mouthpiece for Obasanjo and George.
In a statement on Sunday, he added that his
principal had already addressed his issues by
heading for the court and intimating it of a plot to
illegally abduct him.
The statement read in part, “We do not know when
the NDLEA becomes the spokespersons for Chief
Olusegun Obasanjo and Chief Bode George. We do
not need them to tell us to address our issues.
“We are addressing our issues. We had told the court
on the planned abduction of Kashamu and the
NDLEA was represented.
“The court had given an order asking all the parties
to stay action pending the determination of the suit
which had been fixed for Wednesday.”
Oniyokor had noted in the statement that it was
obvious that NDLEA was acting on the directive of
Obasanjo and George by going against the court
injunction.
“Are they lawless? Are they saying Nigeria is no
longer being governed by rule of law and due
process? Our facts have been put in the public
domain. We have told the world about the planned
abduction, “it stated
Oniyokor, however, said his principal had refused to
see the NDLEA operatives because they could not
produce a warrant for his arrest.
He said, if the agency produced the warrant of arrest,
his principal “will handover himself to them but if not,
he will not.”
