Choii!! See Where Kashamu Hid During NDLEA 6 Days Raiding In His Home

A Senator-elect, Buruji Kashamu, wanted by the United States government for alleged drug offenses, hid in his apartment’s toilet in Lagos for six days as Nigerian anti-narcotic agents raided his home and placed him under house arrest two weeks ago, his lawyer said Thursday.

According To PREMIUMTIMES, the lawyer, Ajibola Oluyede, told a federal court in Lagos that Mr. Kashamu remained in hiding while 20 masked operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, took over his bedroom.

Mr. Oluyede said despite an earlier ruling of the court that the NDLEA lift its siege on Mr. Kashamu’s home, the agency only withdrew its personnel after he was compelled to sign an undertaking.

“The only reason they left was because I signed an undertaking,” Mr. Oluyede said.

“My client was in a toilet for six days with 20 masked armed men in his bedroom. So, I signed the undertaking before they left. They should not claim to have obeyed the order of the court.”Mr. Kashamu’s lawyer urged the court to nullify any warrant of arrest that might have been obtained by the NDLEA from any source in an attempt to extradite his client.

The judge, Ibrahim Bubba, ordered the Attorney General of Nigeria and the NDLEA not to take any further action to extradite Mr. Kashamu to the United States, until the proceedings before him are determined.
