A Federal High Court in Lagos has ordered the more than 50 operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, to immediately vacate the Lagos residence of the senator-elect for Ogun East Senatorial District, Buruji Kashamu.
The NDLEA, whose operatives had laid siege on Kashamu’s residence in Lagos since Saturday, said it had received a formal extradition request on Kashamu from the government of the United States of America and was coming to court to secure an extradition order.
But Justice Ibrahim Buba, in a bench ruling on Tuesday afternoon, pronounced the action of the NDLEA as subjudice and ordered the men of the Nigerian police to ensure that NDLEA operatives vacate Kashamu’s premises “without a free for all.”
