The title of the thread is misleading. There was nothing in the article, which was reported in 3rd person (though Dailybeast is a credible source) that suggested he was a drug kingpin. Laundering money for drug kingpin is different from being a drug kingpin albeit he can be accused of being an accomplice in a larger conspiracy. Regardless, he wasn't charged for anything, apart from not paying taxes on the money he deposited in his bank account. So, I don't understand what the fuss is about. Also, which Nigerian politician doesn't launder money? Furthermore, most Nigerian elites from that era were also into drug trafficking, including the leaders. That was the Iran Contra boom, when Nigeria was a big transit point for drugs - so it isn't shocking at all. Reagan era right there. But the man does look like a crackhead though. ![]() So too is “Prince” Buruji Kashamu from the People’s Democratic Party, who has faced extradition back to the United States since 1998. Kashamu was indicted by a federal grand jury in Chicago for being the elusive “Alaji,” a globetrotting drug kingpin who smuggled heroin into O’Hare International Airport from Europe and Asia. Piper Kerman, the memoirist who inspired the Netflix series Orange is the New Black, famously worked for Alaji. Kashamu denies the charges and insists that he was purportedly a counterterrorism informant to the U.S. government before and after 9/11, and that the real trafficker was his now-deceased brother. ^^^The highlighted bit cracked me up though. ![]() So, this muthaphucka was an informant and he's proud of it, no? Only God knows how many informants run around that country, apart from the tons of CIA moles there. ![]() 1 Like |

WisdomFlakes:noise here and there.buh no crime has been level against him.level a crime against him,and call for his extradition. If after all this year,the only thing the 'mighty' US could do is to indict him on the pages of newpaper,then,he must be doing something right.capitalizing on loopholes maybe. |

[quote author=frisky2good post=33164066]Opari For those that were not patient enough to read the full article, here's the summary: TINUBU WAS INVOLVED IN DRUGS IN THE US.[/quote There’s no evidence that Tinubu was ever indicted for any crime. He eventually settled with the district court, turning over $460,000 of the seized $1.4 million, with the remainder released back to him. The Beast tried repeatedly to contact Marsha McClellan, the U.S. attorney who prosecuted the case, but was unsuccessful. |

![]() Instead of some posters to address the issues at stake, we are being harassed with pictures of Mr. Tinubu associating with America's political and business elite. Those pictures don't prove anything. I could easily dig up pictures of Helmut Kohl, Manuel Noriega and Mobutu Sese Seko hobnobbing with US and world leaders (before their fall from grace). ![]() The issue at stake should be addressed.
