The embattled Senator-elect representing Ogun
East Senatorial District, Prince Buruji Kashamu,
on Wednesday buttressed the claim that the
NDLEA sent its operatives to London to give
evidence in his favour in 2002, even as he
accused the drug law enforcement agency of
double speak in its attempt to extradite him.
Kashamu, through his media adviser, Austin
Oniyokor, alleged in a statement made available
to THISDAY that the same NDLEA had testified
in his favour in the British courts.
Reacting to the disclosure by the agency that
they had served the senator-elect with his
extradition notice, the statement queried its
propriety when it is not a court bailiff.
On the revelation by Kashamu’s lawyer, Barrister
Ajibola Oluyede, that the NDLEA sent its
operatives to London to give evidence in favour
of Prince Kashamu in 2002, the senator-elect
attached the letter written by the NDLEA
Chairman mandating its officials to go the Bow
Street Magistrate Court, London, to go and
testify in the matter on behalf of the Federal
Government of Nigeria.
"It should be noted that the evidence that the
NDLEA gave was to the effect that Prince Buruji
Kashamu is not the person wanted for the drug-
related offences.
"This, among other pieces of evidence, resulted
in the conclusion of the British courts that it was
a case of mistaken identity.
"Even here in Nigeria, the NDLEA has made
several depositions and averments on oath
exonerating Prince Kashamu of any drug
allegations.
"So the question is: can the NDLEA take two
different positions on the same matter in respect
of the same person? How it intends to wriggle
out of the intricate web of intrigues it has boxed
itself remains to be seen,” the statement
declared.
