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.
