The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has said that it will obey the decision of the court of “competent jurisdiction” on the ongoing case involving Senator-elect, Buruji Kashamu.

In a statement by Mitchell Ofoyeju, its Spokesperson, Wednesday, the NDLEA said that as a government agency and a law enforcement institution, it has respect for the rule of law.

A Federal High Court in Lagos had on Tuesday ordered NDLEA operatives, who had laid a siege around Mr. Kashamu’s home since Saturday, to vacate the Senator-elect’s house.

But the NDLEA had dared the court, stating that it did not believe any judge would issue an order preventing a government agency from performing its statutory responsibilities in a lawful manner.

“The agency has therefore refused to be distracted and will continue to maintain presence at the residence,” Mr. Ofoyeju had said in a statement Tuesday.

“It is advisable that Kashamu respects the law by submitting himself to the due process of law.”
On Wednesday, another federal court barred the NDLEA and other government security agencies from “unlawfully” arresting and extraditing Mr. Kashamu to the United States.

Mr. Kashamu, a prominent member of the Peoples’ Democratic Party and the Senator-elect for Ogun East, is wanted in the U.S. for drug related offences.

In its statement Wednesday, the NDLEA said it would now obey the courts’ decisions.

“This is a legal issue and the Agency has windows of opportunities to explore legally in advancing its course,” Mr. Ofoyeju said.
“NDLEA will not violate court orders or take law into its hands in enforcing its statutory responsibilities.”

What a shame , the poor man will be punished even if not guilty but the rich men will waka with full grades of crime

You see...

Nigeria needs deliverance.

Those boys were just wasting away in the sun since last weekend!

No selective judgment!

All known DRUG LORDS should be exported to wherever together.

Once the man steps out of his residence, am sure he might be arrested

Nonsense. NDLEA is toothless after all.

Btw, follow due process and get that monkey extradited to USA.

Stay there laa , when una no get work. Some people be using NDlea as a tool against him.

mzcheeee, confusionist

Life is not fair

And to think the US got those FIFA executives before this man.

two questions for the Yorubas


.
- what shall it profit you to see your fellow Yoruba brother suffer?


.
- Which other tribe in Nigeria have you seen with such manner and attitude?
.
See the way you fights yourselves, it's pathetic.

Good. They cannot dance to the whims of the US Government in collaboration with old fools like Obasanjo who are out to prove foolish points. The Rule of Law must be respected at all times.

All through Obasanjo's administration when this same Buruji man was in his good books and was very much on ground in Nigeria, why was there no extradition request and a follow up action by th NDLEA. . . for alleged offences allegedly committed decades ago? Why now? Why has the US Government not also filed an extradition request for a well known and even more politically exposed drug baron called Bola Ahmed Tinubu? Double-standards are always unacceptable to me.

Can a poor man acquire the services of a SAN?

Drug baron master Bola Ahmed "Drugba" Thiefnibu, Obasanjo and APC how market?

Wicked and senseless people. Had it been Senator elect Baruji Kashamu was in APC the story will be different.

It's a shame that we still kiss US government a$$. Can we ask them to extradite an American (who was alleged to have committed a crime while in Nigeria) to Nigeria for trials and they'll succumb to our request?

The answer is hell NO

He'll be sworn in as Senator on Friday by God's grace whether they it or not. Mtcheew!

I've been asking myself this question: if Buruji Kashamu was even guilty of the crimes levelled against him;

when was the said crime committed?

Why wait till now to Punish him?

Why the haste to extradite him before his inauguration?

Obasanjo is just manipulating the whole saga

In Nigeria, NDLEA isn't above corruption
