Court orders police to remove NDLEA from Kashamu’s house

Justice Ibrahim Buba, of the Federal High Court in Lagos has ordered men of the Nigerian Police to remove operatives of the NDLEA from the Lagos residence of the senator-elect for Ogun East Senatorial District, Mr. Buruji Kashamu.

The judge however noted that the order should be carried out “without a free for all.”

The NDLEA operatives had stormed Kashamu’s house early Saturday morning purportedly to carry out a formal request for his extradition to the U.S to face criminal charges.

But Justice Buba, in a bench ruling on Tuesday afternoon, pronounced the NDLEA action as sub judice and ordered that they vacate Kashamu’s premises.
