Our attention has been drawn to a press release by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) purporting to have served extradition proceedings on Senator-elect, Prince Buruji Kashamu.
We wish to state that the NDLEA has no role to play in extradition proceedings until a warrant of arrest has been issued by the court. It is the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice that initiates extradition proceedings after receiving a request by an order directed to the court and asking the court to take over the matter.
It is the court that
will decide whether a warrant of arrest is necessary. It is the court that will
consider all the evidence provided by the United States to see whether it
satisfies the onus of proof and that it establishes that the person sough is
the person that actually participated in the offence alleged.
In this case, the NDLEA
is very jumpy, nervous and unsettled because it has exposed its
unprofessionalism when before any extradition proceedings had been commenced at
all, it invaded the home of Prince Kashamu, broke down his gates, doors and
windows to gain access, harassed his infant children and pregnant wife and humiliated
him in the presence of his family.
Clearly, the plan was
not extradition but abduction and that plan failed only because it quickly came
to the attention of the public.
The belated filing on
Thursday, 28th May, 2015 of an application to the Federal High Court
by the immediate past Attorney-General
of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Mohammed Adoke Bello, is
an afterthought. And the lack of quality in the processes is indicative that it
is a rushed job quickly done to save his face.
The pieces of evidence
which the US authorities have provided him are exactly the same evidence that
the British courts found to contain falsehood and held to be incredible and
valueless.
I wonder why the
immediate past AGF would think that the Nigerian courts can be deceived.
Additionally, it must
be borne in mind that during the trial in the United Kingdom, the NDLEA sent
its operatives to London to give evidence. And that evidence was to the effect
that Prince Buruji Kashamu is not the person wanted for the drug-related
offences.
One wonders what has
changed now. Although one should not wonder for long knowing that the immediate
past AGF and the Chairman of the NDLEA are now working for Prince Kashamu’s
political opponents who will do anything to deprive him of his mandate which he
won in a free and fair election.
There are many things
wrong with the documents filed by the immediate past AGF. But all these will be
dealt with in the court in due course.
The triumphant
announcement by the NDLEA that they have served Prince Kashamu with extradition
proceedings is not only laughable but false. He has not been served. Rather, a
copy of the process was dropped in our office in Lagos yesterday. So, we shall
deal with it in accordance with the law.
In the mean time, the
NDLEA should be warned to stay away because they have no role to play in the
current proceedings. And if we should discover that they have usurped the
functions of the AGF, we shall certainly make an issue of it.

Wht a shame, and disgusting act. I hate to b tribalistic but wit dis happening, leave me wit much thought abt some certain people in certain areas of Nigeria.
I wil say dis over, and over again which is they wil all b put to shame by d end of d day.
Dis goes mostly to those behind dis act, God wil surely judge them, and their portion in life wil b worse than dis they r doing.
I thank God for our judiciary. They (using NDLEA as a smoke screen) would have kidnapped the man and hand him over to the US in order to score a cheap political point. They want to prove to the guy that they own Nigerian.
hmm too bad

~D great anonymous!
Don't mind the ode! Did he or did he not indulge in drug business? Foolish defender of the universe
Where aboki and Bonario? Something dey happen. Lib observers wetin dey sup?
Is he now denying not being a drug baron or that there is no element of truth in what he is being hunted for. I wonder how people like this man will be allowed into a public office. What is he going to the house to do? Legislate on positive change or on drugs legalization. God help us in this country.
Royal fool, Doctors need to exam u before u run enter road oh! Buruji Kashamu, know what he did so let us watch and see what will happen nest.
You people keep saying the man should go to USA to clear his name Hmmmm, thought we Real a man that was jail for over 2decade for murder he never committed, I don't think the man should go, no bi today yanch dey back usa also av a to protect their citizens whether wrong or Right, in other words someone should plz tell dis Alagbara to stop dis ranting cause it would definitely Fall back on Them..#weallownNigeria Enough already!!!
Nigeria did not sign any extradition treaty with America. The Brits did when they were in charge and when Nigeria got independence they ratify the treaty. Now, what I am concerned about is that THe Brits who signed our treaty have said that Kashamu has no case to answer why are we making a case out of nothing. This case has been lingering 4 over 20 yrs and I am not sure if the statute of limitation has not expired.I do not know if there is statute on drug charges. The Brits are closer to the Americans than we will ever be. Why are we crying over spilled milk. Let the guy go u have no case against him. He has been tried twice and u want to do it 4 the third time. Why? This is the 21st century stop selling our ppl into slavery. If u have disagreement with d guy find another way to resole it instead of destroying him. Must we destroy ourselves? There are enough ppl that want to do it 4 us. Let's not be our own enemies. Please have a rethink. And if u decide to to court u are going to lose. For Kashamu to go to court 4 the third time think about the emotional roller coaster that he will go thru not to talk abt the amount of money he has to spend. This is triple jeopardy. The court should refuse to entertain this case.
Ok

Even though i do not like this man and most pdp chiefs, i think it is wrong to victimize him or any nigeria citizen just to please american courts or his political opponents. his rights should be respected. due process we say.
Their is no smoke without fire, he should travel there himself and clear his name if he is innocent
God bless u for this piece! U read my mind
Tinubu, Obasanjo and their allies should grow up immediately and let Kashamu be!!! If there should be any extradition relating to drug trafficking, Tinubu should be the first to be extradited because he's the King of drug trafficking in Aafrica.
Anonymous 12:59am, it is the likes of people like you that have been deceiving Buruji and pushed him deep into the abyss which he now finds himself. A man reputed to be a drug baron and fetish bully. He has been using his drug loot to stir trouble in this country and cause all sorts of mayhem. In fact there are many a drug barons in this country, that slowly but surely God will catch up with one by one, but this particular criminal and evil man's cup is full. He is so unintelligent to know that he should have kept his drug loot and stayed under the radar. Instead the fool went to town fermenting trouble using his drug money in connivance with many corrupt Justices. All these corrupt evil Justices with private suites inside his drug corporation HQ, Best Western should start packing their bags too as their day is fast approaching too.
It is shocking that this man was voted by hungry fools to be a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, fools that have been sharing in his drug loot. Does anyone bother to think deeply on what drug abuse has done to Nigerians that have died or been ruined by it??? Yet they still want to protect this wicked demonic man because they have interests in his drug loot. May God judge us all accordingly. If he is innocent God will surely fight his cause, likewise if he is guilty may God's will be done!!!!! To all you wicked self serving people I say, what you want is always at odds with what is right! God is visiting Nigeria now to start to right all the wrongs. Watch this space!!!!
@Irabo, "next" not "nest". Thank me later. Don't say is typo error abeg. Isabella_nice
You spoke very well
America, America, America. It's Hightime Leaders Like George W. Bush Jr. Got Tried For Crimes of War. What Has Become Of Iraq Today? What A Pity But Thanks To The Americans.
This guy's real name is Esho Jinadu , Buruji Kashamu is an alias.
See the person correcting ...."don't say is typo"
Oba u must be kidding me. Buruji should clear his name before the Americans add to nigerias problems by issuing sanctions.
kashamu .... I swear if u r extradited today,,, tinubu, obj, buhari,,,will die In d next seven days....#amen
