Read the press statement below...
Officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) on May 23rd, 2015 placed Senator-elect Buruji Kashamu from Ogun State under house arrest. This is sequel to a formal request for extradition received from the Embassy of the United States of America pending his arraignment before the Federal High Court on Monday, May 25th.
Kashamu has been a target of both the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for over 20 years and was indicted in the Northern District of Illinois, United States on charges brought against him by ICE.
Kashamu, who U.S. court documents allege was known in his days as the leader of a prolific heroin trafficking ring based in Chicago, Illinois as “God,” “Daddy,” and “Kasmal,” is wanted to stand trial on charges of conspiracy and importation of controlled substances, namely heroin, into the United States dating back to 1994. Kashamu, who holds dual Nigerian/Beninese citizenship, has taken multiple preemptive actions to thwart U.S. extradition efforts such as making fanciful claims that his is a case of mistaken identity, and that his deceased brother is responsible for the crimes he is being sought after in the United States.
Kashamu has filed injunctions in federal court both in the Northern District of Illinois, United States and in Nigeria to prevent his arrest and prosecution.
At the time of his arrest, NDLEA officers allowed Kashamu’s legal attorneys – Daniel Onamusi and Barrister Oloyede – and close family members including his wife and adult daughters to speak with him and attest to his well-being.
The NDLEA has assured Kashamu that he will be afforded all the protections of the law and will be given his day in court. Assertions that he will be bundled up under cover of darkness and whisked out of the country are untrue and should not be given any credence. We expect Kashamu as a senator-elect to demonstrate confidence in the Nigerian judicial system and not insinuate otherwise.

When Obasanjo was lamenting about this drug baron called kashamu,people believed it was political...have u all seen the outcome?He should be extradited without further delay....at least..lets see if this is one credible thing this GEJ goverment has done....
It's NDLEA son ok.
God help, and save us frm wolves in sheeps clothings. OBJ handwork in dis.
Stop the victimisation!!!!!
Why now that he has been elected Senator? This is bad belle at its height. When he was with Baba, nothing. Now that he won election under Jona's party, he is now under house arrest for possible extradition to the United states. Why should Ndlea play to the gallery? Why this time that it is few days to his inauguration to the Senate Chambers? If he is found guilty by a court then the law should take its cause because drug dealing is bad. But my problem is why wait till Baba started accusing him because they fell out before taking action?

Shame on all Jonathan's supporters.... This is one of those criminals that surrounded him. One down!
A trip to the US won't be a bad idea 'lol' #onelovefromsnow#
Their statement clearly shows they believe he is guilty. oh Boy!
When will they go for bobo chicago?
Idiot! This is a result of a feud with obj. Why should GEJ get involved, especially as he is retiring?
First person to make a sensible comment. How come nothing has happened to this man since 1999?
@igwe, abegi shut up your toto. U talk nonsense always.
Just shut up your toto. Where is ur brain?
there is time 4 everything hope people would lean from it sha
This is what you get when a criminal trying to legitimized his fortune ventures into politics instead of a lucrative business !!!
Someone is just refusing to visit US......Chai
Moye says so via BB Passport...Courtesy LIB......
Lol, Bonario, can u imagine, so it was true that he was a drugs barron before, kai! Na wa oh!
Hoping to see how this plays out in the end...
#Omoh
Exactly! Why now? When he single handedly sponsored Obj's election he wasn't a drug baron. When will Nigerians rise to challenge Obj's wickedness?
He has be actively in politics since 2003 when he sponsored baba's election until they fell out and suddenly Obj remembered he is a drug baron and decided to witch haunt him.
It's so sad that our agencies av. Been turned to actualise such.. baba Iyabo! God is watching u
What of YERIMA and DINO MELAIYE or sth
Kashamu has always been fraudulent.i remember the role he played in sending oceanic bank underground with huge overdrawn accounts running into billions.
As of 2008,he was already wanted for drugs related charges in d US.its about time he faces the music.
@royal priesthood, your thinking faculty is very shallow...
Hmmmm!
Hmmmm!
and where are you from Anon? idiot

Please come and carry me, I am culprit. I want to visit the United States
Because he has been running around.And when he finally settled in Nigeria,he was given presidential lifestyle because of his heavy funding of the ruling party.please use that little thing on your skull called a brain,it works you know?
Hahahahaha lmao drugs baron your English sha
Obj's fury knows no bound. I remembered what happened in Imo state in 2007, when he refused a certain senator that was contesting for Imo Gov to be elected. Just bcos the man offended him by thwarting his third term bid presidential reelection. He saw it as a betrayal and dealt with the senator. Obj is so so vindictive. Kashimu should ve known better.
When Obj is out for you, he doesn't look backward. He fights to finish.
Pele Kashimu. OYO is your case.
You should ve sorted this ish out secretly with baba Iyabo. Pele oooh.
So it's politically motivated....
Vengeance Vengeance Vengeance has ninety shades of Obj. Lwkmd.
Shebi dem be aburo.
They should leave us alone jare.
Who dey helepu????
Hahahahahahaaaa
For some reason I feel sorry for him. He seemed victimised.
May God be with you and may you find mercy with him.
I am not in anyway in support of crime but my spirit feels sorry for him.
Both him and Thiefnubu were running the cartel together. So why implicate only the Prince?

And who is Obasanjo supposed to be ? Still ruling us behind d scene ?at what age ? Since when ?? Buruji Kasamu all of a sudden since 20years ago? Haba ...we all cried for people who were actually caught in the act,jailed and executed in Indonesia few weeks ago..what makes Kasamu's case worse or different that he is not getting most people's sympathy??is it a crime to be in opposition party?
Even if it WAS true ... Can u imagine what others did 20years+ back ? We just elected by deciet Gen who snatch power by Coup...wonderin why we being biased and unfair in this case...this is a citizen of Nigeria for God sake...everyone wanted mercy for those executed in Indonesia..why is someone Obasanjo usin us to send our own brother to the US prisons ? For personal gains and show of power ? Can anyone curse Obasanjo etc already ?????
Guys lets not lose sight of the facts. A drug dealer is a drug dealer. The U.S. Is not like Nigeria who eill come after an innocent man. He is a drug dealer, had no business ruling hard working Nigerian like you and I.

I for one know obasanjo is going to die a slow and painful death, for all the pains he has single handedly caused Nigerians. But wat can I say it's typical of yuroba ppl, back stabbers and betrayers even to their own families. If you are keeping a yuroba person as friends better have a 8D eyes..and also evidence of dirty deeds hook them at the jugular in case dey decide to perfect their back stabbing rituals on you..mother fuckers
TINUBU MUST BE NEXT O!! OR ELSE THIS WILL BE UNFAIR!!!!
Wish he committed the crime in Indonesia not USA
