From Yemi Oyeyemi, Abuja.

Ogun Senator, Buruji Kashamu, will not be extradited to the United States of America to face drug-related charges if court cases on his extraditin are not concluded in Nigeria.

These assurances are contained in court processes filed by the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, and the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).

Kashamu dragged the two agencies before the court seeking their committal to prison on the allegation that they were planning to forcefully kidnap and abduct him to the US for trial in drug related offences

However, at the resumed hearing of the matter yesterday, Kashamu told Justice Gabriel Kolawole through his counsel Chief Akin Olujimi SAN that the AGF and NDLEA have agreed not to extradite him until all court actions on the issue have been resolved.

Olujimi said that in view of the assurances from the two parties, there was no need to pursue any court action against them at the court.

He applied to Kolawole to grant him leave to withdraw the suit against the AGF and NDLEA in view of the assurances not to extradite him to US until all cases are fully resolved.

The counsel told the judge that both parties will now go back to the Court of Appeal to continue with the appeal cases that emanated from the refusal of the high courts to grant the extradition request.

Counsel to the AGF, Mr. Tanko Ashang, a deputy director and head of central authority in the Federal Ministry of Justice; and that of the NDLEA, Mr. Mike Kassa, did not object to the withdrawal of the case and the resolved to go the Appeal Court to pursue all pending appeals.

Justice Kolawole in his brief ruling granted the leave for withdrawal of the suit and the decision to shift to the court of appeal for the pursuit of the appeals.

“In the light of the application of the applicant to withdraw this suit and to move to Court of Appeal to pursue all pending appeals in respect of the extradition matter, leave is hereby granted for withdrawal of this suit.”

Kashamu had filed an application in court seeking the committal of the AGF and NDLEA to prison for allegedly making plans to forcefully abduct and transport him to America.
