Press release from Kashamu's media aide, Austin Oniyorkor. Read below...
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency(NDLEA) this morning
(Saturday,23rd May, 2015) at about 4:30am surrounded the Lekki Phase 1,
Lagos residence of Prince Buruji Kashamu to allegedly effect his arrest
following a purported extradition request from the US.
This latest onslaught is a confirmation of the alleged plot to illegally
abduct him in spite of the pending suit against this illegality. As a
matter of fact, the court has ordered parties in the matter including
the NDLEA to maintain status quo until judgment is delivered onWednesday
27th May 2015.
We have confirmed that they do not have a warrant of arrest, just as the
office of the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of
Justice has said that it did not give any order to carry out this
illegality. We have confirmed that this illegality is being designed and
executed by Chief Bode George whose wife is the Director General of the
NDLEA, all in a bid to score cheap political points.
We urge all well meaning Nigerians to prevail on NDLEA, Chief George and
his wife to toe the path of the rule of law and follow due process.
Nigeria is not a Banana republic! The United States(US) being the
bastion of democracy, the rule of law and due process should not lend
itself to this kind of illegality.
Signed Austin Oniyokor, Media Aide to Kashamu
