Kashamu is said to be demanding to see a
warrant of arrest before surrendering to the officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) who are waiting to convey him to the Federal High Court.
Senator-elect, Buruji Kashamu is stalling legal proceedings in his extradition hearing after refusing to leave his home for the court. Kashamu is said to be demanding to see a warrant of arrest before surrendering to the officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) who are waiting to convey him to the Federal High Court. The NDLEA officials invaded the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain’s Lekki, Lagos
home on Saturday, May 23, in a bid to extradite him to the US to face drug charges.
They were however unable to carry out the
arrest due to the absence of a warrant
authorizing Kashamu’s arrest.
The Senator-elect’s lawyers are said to be
awaiting his arrival at the court in order to
challenge the actions of the NDLEA.
Meanwhile, some supporters of Kashamu have taken to the court premises to protest his
detention.Kashamu was indicted of drug dealing in Chicago in 1998 but has managed to evade capture until
now.
