Buruji Kashamu Fails to Appear in Court
Senator-elect, Buruji Kashamu, who has been placed under house arrest
over a drug related crime, failed to appear in court on Monday
Kashamu is being closely monitored by operatives of the National Drug
Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in his Lekki, Lagos, home. The Head,
Public Affairs of NDLEA, Mr. Ofoyeju Mitchell, said, the agency is
working hard to ensure that the Peoples Democratic Party chieftain
submits himself to the due process of the law. According to Mitchell,
the extradition move initiated by the NDLEA for Kashamu to answer drug
trafficking charges in the United States, is legal.
"The agency has not violated his rights and will continue to work
within the confines of the law. He has been assured that due process
of the law shall be adhered to at every stage.
"NDLEA is the appropriate government agency to implement his
extradition request and will diligently pursue the processes to a
logical conclusion. It is expected that Kashamu will willingly submit
himself to the laws of the country under which he seeks to serve as a
senator," the NDLEA spokesman said.
