Justice Ibrahim Buba has ordered the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, officials to vacate the residence of Buruji Kashamu, the senator-elect for Ogun East Senatorial District, in Lekki, Lagos.
Giving the order on Tuesday, Buba said the status quo be maintained.
The NDLEA, whose operatives had laid siege on Kashamu’s residence in Lagos since Saturday, said it had received a formal extradition request on Kashamu from the government of the United States of America and was coming to court to secure an extradition order.
But Buba, in a bench ruling pronounced the action of the NDLEA as subjudice and ordered the men of the Nigerian police to ensure that NDLEA operatives vacate Kashamu’s premises “without a free for all.”
