Court Refuses Buruji Kashamu’s Fresh Application To Stop DSS From Extraditing Him To US For Trial.
A Federal High Court in Abuja has refused an application by Senator Buruji Kashamu to stop the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Nigeria Police from going ahead with his arrest and extradition to the United States.
Kashamu is the Senator representing Ogun East in the National Assembly.
Justice Okon Abang in his ruling on Wednesday held that the application was incompetent.
He added that the security agencies deserved to be served notice to show cause before the order was granted.
Kashamu’s counsel, Godswill Mrakpor, had asked the court to grant urgent hearing to the application, insisting that there were moves to arrest and transport Kashamu to the US to face drug-related charges.
