The election of the Senator representing Ogun East Senatorial district Buruji Kashamu has been nullified by the State Electoral Petition Tribunal sitting in Ogun State.

The Tribunal also kicked out the election of Adekoya Adesegun, a Member representing the Ijebu East/Ijebu North/Ogun Waterside Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives as well as five other Members of the state House of Assembly.

The Tribunal said the elections did not comply with the Electoral Law.

The tribunal ordered fresh elections in some of the areas where infractions were observed.

Kashamu was once arrested by the United States government for alleged drug offences, an offence which led the NDLEA to institute an arrest on him.

He was famously held hostage in his apartment’s toilet in Lagos for six days as officers of the NDLEA raided his home and placed the inspiration for hit TV show “Orange is the New Black” under house arrest in June.
