Kashamu must go.

OrlandoOwoh:
It's only the President, the VP, the governors and their deputies that enjoy immunity.

sanniabiola:
I pity you

drkay:
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?

emmyrichie:
A drug case with clear evidence? What re you saying in essence?

Bishop4bella:
The question is, can the US allow their citizen to be extradite by Nigeria?

Sentiment apart.

i have been following the kashamu case for a while,the offence wasnt committed on american soil.

1.PEOPLE WERE CAUGHT WITH DRUGS IN AMERICA AND THEY CLAIMED A PARTICULAR ALHAJI IN BENIN REPUBLIC SUPPLIED THEM.

2.UNITED STATES.ISSUED A WARRANT OF ARREST FOR THE ALHAJI.

3.KASHAMU TRAVELLED TO U.K DESPITE THE ARREST WARRANT AND HE WAS ARRESTED BY THE U.K GOVERNMENT AND KEPT LOCKED UP FOR SEVEN YEARS.

4. SERIES OF INVESTIGATIONS WERE CARRIED OUT BY THE U.K GOVERNMENT,EVEN.WITH LINEUPS WHERE THE SUSPECTS WERE BROUGHT IN FROM U.K AND FAILED TO POINT OUT KASHAMU.AMERICA ALSO FAILED TO COME UP WITH ENOUGH EVIDENCE.

5.U.K DECIDES THAT AMERICA WAS BIASED IN THEIR INVESTIGATION COS THEY DIDNT REALLY KNOW THE SUPPLIER AND KASHAMU WAS DECLARED A FREE MAN AFTER SEVEN YEARS.

ACCORDING TO OBJ.AND OTHERS THAT HAVE DECIDED TO LABEL KASHAMU A.CRIMINAL,WHY DID THEY TURN BLIND EYES WHEN HE DONATED N300M TO THE OBASANJO LIBRARY FOUNDATION,THEY ALSO TURNED BLIND EYES WHEN THEY USED HIS MONEY TO FUND PDP IN THE SOUTHWEST,THEY USED HIS WEALTH TO THEIR ADVANTAGE AND ALSO SHARPENED HIS TEETH,SO WHY SHOULD THEY COMPLAIN WHEN HE IS NOW USING THE SAME TEETH TO BITE BACK.

THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT MESSED UP THE WHOLE CASE THE MINUTE THE COULD NOT DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN ALAHJI THE DRUG BARON,BURUJI KASHAMU OR ESHO JINADU.

Only in this are country are criminals rewards 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.

Humanity does not cover a senator but the executive only

OrigamiIII:
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.

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.

I doubt if it will scale through....some people are shielding dis man from extradition as well...He is a senator nw,immunity is part of his benefit

Elose11:
I hope and pray APC and Obasanjo will let this man be. Or else, the hunter will soon become the hunted. When you live in glass house dont throw stone.

mikeapollo:
Must the UK wait until US took a step before they take a similar step? Why didn't UK do anything until US started making request for Kashamu's extradition?

Jorussia:
It was in the us he committed the crime not UK.The extradition reauest is coming from the US and UK.

pboy247:
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?

omooba969:
'must be that you don't know the kind of power-play involved in this saga. You would be surprised to learn that the clique after his ars.e are invisible to us but he knows his assailants. I believe that when those after him are ready, they will ship his a.rse over to the states & we would only wake up to see him in red jump-suit @d other side of the atlantic.

On the issue of immunity, if it actually holds water he will have to ensure he wins every elections till he dies but the potency & validity of his immunity will surely be tested & contested @d appropriate time.

We are watching !

Dav24:
I faulted the action of the NDLEA officials before now, i knew that certain forces stirred up their actions especially mr Olusegun Obasanjo.

Brugo:
When did he donate the rice? It was only reported that he intended to donate. But even if he eventually does so, that doesn't say he should not clear his name.

This is a public figure- a legislator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It is embarrassing that our Senator should be wanted for drug crimes in the US. He should clear this scandal once and for all.

Jorussia:
Since he is sure of his innocency, let him travel to the us to prove it.
