Let’s deal with important Legal issues on Chief Buruji Kashamu.
First, what are the findings of a competent and impartial authority on this matter; and has a competent court of law
Senator Elect buruji Kashamu
Senator Elect buruji Kashamu
(in Nigeria) made a ruling as to whether or not he should be extradited? We need to know. The accused and anyone with interest in this matter ought to know what those findings are; and what the position of the court is. It is against the law and against democratic principles to bundle anyone and send them abroad simply because we don’t like the person. Even to our enemies we must not do this.
We must stand by the law so that the law can stand by us. In addition, it is wrong for the Nigeria Drug Law Enforcement Agency and members of the Nigerian Police to barricade and threaten the convenience and freedom of a man who has not been adequately proven guilty.
Every law abiding citizen of Nigeria must speak against this illegality and affront. This, and the Buhari government, must afford Kashamu his day in court. This is absolutely necessary! But really, what evidence does the American government have against him? They should tender the evidence before a competent court in Nigeria. And even if the evidence is there, the accused is still entitled to a day – his day – in the Nigerian court.
After all, extraditions are not automatic. We have laws that govern such actions. In addition, there are international conventions and treaties that speak to and guide the extradition of citizens and foreign nationals. No matter what you may think, Buruji Kashamu is the Senator-Elect for Ogun State. In other words, he is not an “ordinary Nigerian.” Ordinary or not, he is allowed a judicial showing up to the Supreme Court of Nigeria. Knowing this to be the case, why then is the government bent on denying him his civil and human rights? What’s going on here?
Assuming there is an arrest warrant issued by a court in the US, UK or elsewhere, doesn’t the accused have the right to challenge it? Other than the rule of law, there is something else you should consider: The Americans, French, Germans, the Israelis and many other countries do not take the extradition of their citizens lightly.
They don’t! Why then is our government in haste to bundle and exile Buruji Kashamu? So, first thing first: withdraw agents of the Nigeria Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) from his premises. Second, prohibit NDLEA agents and the Police and other agencies from laying siege on his homes and offices. And third, he must not be arrested or harassed. Fourth, accord him his right – the right to challenge all and any evidence against him.
Allow the law to take its proper course. If in the end the Supreme Court authorizes his extradition, then, so be it. Until then, no person or institution should condone, encourage or permit extralegal actions against a citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Or is the Nigerian government now into Extraordinary Rendition? (Renditions are the kidnapping or abduction and transfer of a suspect from one country to another without judicial authorization.)
Finally, whatever your impression and biases against the accused may be, keep it to yourself. Don’t poison the mind of others. Let’s wait for the courts.

Nice write up; there is no way America will extradict her citiZen to any country easily; not to talk of a senator elect.. but we Africans can easily give out ours!

The APC in Ogun state need him out of the way so they can occupy his place!

They never anticipated the alleged drug lord beating them in an APC controlled state!.

This a very useless report! Kashamu's case is currently before the Federal high court Lagos! He has opportunity to prove his case on why he shldnt be extradicted

Notably, the US formally applied to the right office for this but GEJ protected him. The baboon's days are over.

So, why lay siege on his premises if the case is already in court? Why can't NDLEA wait for the court to rule appropriately before taking any action? Abuse of fundamental human right under whatever guise should not be encouraged.
