Nigerian Senator, Buruji Kashamu, has filed a fresh suit at the United States District Court seeking an injunction ordering the U.S. to cease all efforts to abduct him from Nigeria or any other country. In the suit Kashamu said if his relief is not granted, he is likely to be abducted and possibly killed or injured.
“The threatened abduction violates the treaty between the United States and Nigeria and due process under the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution,” Mr. Kashamu said through his lawyers, Robert Cohen and Scott Frankel.
It will be recalled that Kashamu, a Senator representing Ogun East, is wanted in the U.S. for alleged involvement in an international cartel smuggling heroin into the country. The NDLEA has recently been in battle with him wanting to forcefully extradite him to the US to answer drug-related charges. However, the Senator has been doing everything under the law to save his face.
