On behalf of myself, family, associates and well-wishers, I wish to
express my profound gratitude to the almighty Allah, the media, the
judiciary, civil society organisations, students, professional groups
and other public-spirited Nigerians home and abroad, who stood by me
during the six-day siege laid to my Lagos residence by operatives of the
National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
I apologize to my neighbours in Lekki Phase 1, especially the
management, members of staff and pupils of The Lagoon School, for all
the pains and inconveniences you were subjected to. I know that you
could not open the school throughout last week because of the barricade
mounted by the fully armed and stern-looking NDLEA operatives. As an
entrepreneur and a parent, I know the quantum of the loss you and your
children have suffered as a result of the siege.
For the six days, I was denied access to my doctors despite having
challenges with my blood and sugar levels. They rose astronomically, yet
they would not budge.
So quite naturally, after those who illegally invaded my house left on
Thursday night, I was rushed to a private hospital where I am presently
receiving treatment.
Although, I plan to address the media, Nigerians and the whole world on
my present travails and the intricate web of politics and manoeuvrings
that led to it soon, I cannot wait to say thank you to all those who
stood my me through the six dark days and nights.
I have been traumatized and unjustly victimized but your fervent
prayers, solidarity and support kept me. I thank you for standing by me.
May the almighty Allah Subhana wa tala, who has been my refuge and
stay, stand by you all.
On this note, I wish to particularly thank www.lindaikeji.blogspot.com,
Channels Television, African Independent Television (AIT), Nigeria
Television Authority (NTA), Silverbird Television, Core TV, Wazobia FM,
Inspiration FM, Classic FM, Rhythm FM, Cool FM, ThisDay, Vanguard, Daily
Sun, The Punch, The Nation, Leadership, The Guardian, Tribune, Daily
Independent, Daily Times, Sahara Reporters, British Broadcasting
Corporation (BBC) and other traditional and social media organisations –
too numerous to mention – for proving yet to be the voice of the
voiceless.
I am really grateful to the media and the judiciary and would forever
live to cherish these institutions and their personnel. Words would fail
me in showing my appreciation to you, but know that I owe you a debt of
gratitude that I may never be able to repay.
Once again, thank you all!
Signed
Prince Buruji Kashamu
