An Appeal court has nullified a previous ruling
preventing the arrest of Senator Kashamu
- The senator is wanted in the US for drugs charges
The Appeal Court in Lagos has on Friday, May 5,
nullified a previous ruling by the Federal High
Court preventing the arrest of Senator Buruji
Kashamu, representing Ogun East district, by
Nigerian law enforcement agencies.
Kashamu, wanted in the United States for alleged
drugs charges had earlier secured a ruling
preventing his arrest.
Premium Times reports that the appeal court
panel led by Yargata Nimpar overturned the
ruling which was delivered by Okon Abang of the
Federal High Court in 2015.
.
His statement reads: "My attention has been drawn to
today’s judgment of the Court of Appeal sitting in Lagos in
an appeal filed by the Attorney-General of the Federation
(AGF) against the judgment delivered by the Federal High
Court, Lagos, in my favour in a fundamental human rights
enforcement suit.
"Let me state from the outset that contrary to the wrong
impression being created by a section of the media, there
isn’t any extradition matter against me in any court in
Nigeria or abroad. The illegal move surreptitiously
introduced by the powers-that-beafter the 2015 abduction
plot was exposed has been dismissed. That was in Suit No.
FHC/ABJ/CS/479/2015. The suit was dismissed on the 1st of
July, 2015, for being an abuse of court process. Anything to
the contrary is sheer mischief and over sensationalism by
some reporters."
previously reported that
Kashamu, has warned members of the Peoples
Democratic Party not to support the ambition of
Ekiti state governor, Ayodele Fayose, for 2019
presidential election. Kashamu said Fayose will
not get close to the party's presidency in 2019.
In a statement released on Tuesday, February 6,
the senator berated Fayose for positioning
himself as a vice-presidential candidate.
