Buruji Kashamu has reportedly gone to court to stop his extradition to the United States of America to face drug-related charges.
Senator-elect Buruji Kashamu has filed a lawsuit at a Federal High Court in Lagos, capital of Lagos State, in a bid to forestall his extradition to the United States of America to face drug-related charges.
Mr. Kashamu, a close associate of President Goodluck Jonathan and winner of the Ogun East senatorial seat in Ogun State, will tomorrow commence argument in a legal case to enforce his right against extradition.
US prosecutors in Chicago, Illinois have named Mr. Kashamu as the fugitive kingpin in a high-profile drug smuggling ring that inspired a bestselling memoir, Orange is the New Black, as well as a sensational Netflix TV production based on the case. But the flamboyant Nigerian politician, who styles himself “Prince” Kashamu, has eluded US law enforcement authorities more than 15 years since they cracked the drug smuggling case.
With President Jonathan, his chief ally, about to exit from office on May 29, Mr. Kashamu has apparently decided that his safest bet is to use the courts to fight his extradition.
