Court terminates Senator Buruj Kashamu Extradition

                 

A Federal High court in Abuja on Wednesday dismissed a Federal Government Law suit seeking the extradition of Senator Buruji Kashamu who is wanted for drug related offence in the US.
The ruling came after Justice Ibrahim Buba and OE Abang ruled earlier that Senator Kashamu could not be extradited in such circumstances. and Finally Justice Gabriel Kolawole  dismissed the NDLEA and Attorney General attempt to extradite Kashamu because it is an abuse of Court Process.


Justice Kolawole said, "the suit was initiated in flagrant abuse of and disobedience to the orders made by Justices Abang and Buba of the Federal High Court, Lagos, which have extinguished the current action by the applicant."
"Therefore, to accede to the applicant's request would be against the legal concept of judicial precedences and res judicata."
"This suit is, hereby, dismissed, with no orders made as to cost against the applicant."
