Fresh facts have emerged in the case of extradition between Ogun State senator, Prince Buruji Kashamu and the National Drug Law and Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) as the United Kingdom
government has expressed its own findings through a letter it recently wrote to Nigeria’s inspector general of police, Mr. Solomon Arase.

The NDLEA had last month invaded the Lekki home of Senator Buruji Kashamu, wanting to extradite him to the United States of America in order to face drug offences in the US District Court in
Chicago, Illinois being presided over by Judge Richard Charles Norgle.

However, after placing Kashamu under house arrest for about five days, Justice Buba ordered the NDLEA officials to vacate his house. He also ruled that the drug agency’s boss should appear before him
immediately to explain why the agency violated an earlier order which said that all parties involved in the case should not take any action until the court says so.

Explaining its own findings to IGP Solomon Arase through the British High Commission in Abuja in a letter dated April 27, 2015,
the UK government said that it is no longer interested in any matter concerning Kashamu, having discharged him in 2003.

The letter which was signed by Mr. Robert Hunter, a Police Advisor of the High Commission in Abuja and addressed to ‘Solomon Arase, Inspector General of Police, Force CID Headquarters, Garki Area
10’ also disclosed that the accused person is not wanted in connection with any other offences within the UK jurisdiction.

The letter, a copy of which was exclusively obtained by our correspondent through a dependable source at the UK Home Affairs in London, also disclosed that the British Magistrate who freed Kashamu in 2003 did so when he was not satisfied that there
was a case for him to answer.

The letter added that this was why the United Kingdom authorities had decided to cancel the extradition request they received from the United States Justice Department.

“I understand that the US authorities are seeking his extradition but can confirm that we have no current interest in this matter and he is not wanted in connection with any other offences within our
jurisdiction”, Robert Hunter said in the letter.

In a related development, our correspondent also gathered that the International Police (INTERPOL) had earlier cancelled the arrest warrant it imposed against Buruji Kashamu immediately it
discovered that the US authorities had at the end of August, 2008 withdrawn their own Search Warrant.

But the US is insisting that Kashamu is the same person as Adewale Kashamu wanted by its security agents in connection with
the trafficking of heroine into America for several years up till 1994. The NDLEA had also said that the US had sent a request to
extradite him to face the charges.

Kashamu must go...

Go where Biafra, Buckingham palace or white house which of them

UK is a country that respect the right of a person to fair hearing, equity and justice. OBJ and the US can continue witch hunting the man, they will never succeed.

How does APC comes in now ? This case has been on before APC gain power at the centre. So bro leave APC out of the matter. Morever , if Kashamu believes he is clean, then he have nothing to worried about

@bolded, never say never and only time will tell

Person weh dhe save osun state now See nigeria D rejected stone wish d builder rejected has now become d corner stone Learn not to betray ya own yellowbars

Only in this are country are criminals rewarded with political posts...If the NDLEA and police cant bundle this man out of country maybe the SWAT team,FBI,CIA,SEALS,INTERPOL et al should.

The question is, can the US allow their citizen to be extradite by Nigeria?
Sentiment apart.

Let's wait and see.

I pray he is vindicated in US too, at least, he's giving back to the society. His 30 trailers of rice(about 18000 bags) to Osun will go a long way. Let those who have one time or the other stolen from government purse give back to the society. Where is Bisi Akande? Oyinlola and thier senators?

There is no substential evidence to extradict this man, they ar ponly going after the wind because the US is not even sure of whom they are looking for, I guess it is misidentification! But in other words, US haven't seen anything yet! I thought they are wise, but now I know they are bunch of fools, how can a monkey specie be controlling human beings who claims to be higher animal all in the name of politics and ego?

They should please let this man be. There is no valid evidence to prosecute him. All harassment should stop. Besides, it seems the man has turned a new leaf donating 30 trailers of rice to osun state civil servants.

If he donated 30 trailers of rice does that means he shouldn't face the law?
