Kashamu remains holed up in home, fails to appear in court

Peoples Democratic Party chieftain and Senator-elect, Buruji Kashamu, has failed to appear in court from his house where he is being closely monitored by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency.
The NDLEA said on Monday that it was working hard to ensure that Kashamu submits himself to the due process of the law.
A statement by the spokesman of the NDLEA, Mitchel Ofoyeju, said his house remained cordoned by anti-narcotic officers pending his appearance in court.
Ofoyeju added: “The extradition move by the NDLEA for Kashamu to answer drug trafficking charges is legal.
“The Agency has not violated his rights and will continue to work within the confines of the law.
“He has been assured that due process of the law shall be adhered to at every stage.
“NDLEA is the appropriate government Agency to implement his extradition request and will diligently pursue the processes to a logical conclusion.
“It is expected that Kashamu will willingly submit himself to the laws of the country under which he seeks to serve as a senator.”
