The Federal High Court, Abuja on Monday made an interim order restrain¬ing the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) and its ex-Chairman, Ahmadu Giade from arresting or detaining Senator Buruji Kasha¬mu.

Kashamu is wanted in the US over his alleged involvement in illegal importation of prohibited narcotics into the country.

The court, after listening to Kashamu’s lawyer, Ajibola Oluyede, who moved an ex-parte motion filed in the suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/479/2015, yester¬day restrained the FG from ar¬resting the senator.

Kashamu, former Director of Mobilisation, People’s Democrat¬ic Party (PDP) is now represent¬ing Ogun East senatorial district at the Senate.

Giade, who was former NDLEA Chairman, is now Spe¬cial Adviser to the AGF on nar¬cotics.

Kashamu, in the motion ex-parte, is seeking three prayers, which include an order of interim injunction, restraining the three (listed as alleged contemnors in the motion) from arresting, de-taining or applying for a warrant for his arrest in relation to his al¬leged involvement in drug trade, pending the determination of the contempt proceedings he initiat¬ed against them.
