A Federal High Court in Lagos on Monday quashed the extradition proceedings and arrest warrant procured by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) against Senator-elect for Ogun East Senatorial District, Buruji Kashamu.
Justice Okon Abang, in a ruling on an application argued by Kashamu’s lawyer, Alex Izion (SAN), quashed the extradition proceedings and arrest warrant issued by another judge of the Federal High Court.
This is as another judge of the Federal High Court in Lagos, Justice Ibrahim Buba, on Monday, restrained the NDLEA from arresting and arraigning Kashamu in furtherance of the extradition charges.
Kashamu, who is a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), had on Monday filed another suit before Justice Buba seeking an order to nullify the provisional warrant of arrest obtained by the NDLEA against him.
