Peoples Democratic Party, PDP senator from Ogun State, Prince
Buruji Kashamu has been offered a free return ticket to the United
States of America (USA) so as to clear his name, once and for all of
allegation of involvement in drug trafficking instead of running from
one court to the other, trying to prevent his extradition to the USA.
The youths, Northern Youths Movement (NYM) made this known in
a release issued today (Monday, September 5, 2016) and signed by
its Chairman, Mallam Ishaya Jato. They also offered to provide
hotel accommodation and feeding for Senator Kashamu.
The group warned judges in the country, especially Justice Okon
Abang and others on the payroll of Senator Kashamu to stop
granting frivolous orders to obstruct his journey to the USA, contending
that shopping for court orders to prevent something as simple as going
to the USA was a confirmation of Senator Kashamu’s culpability in
the alleged drug crime.
They said rather than holding on to his claim that his late
look-alike younger brother was the one that was involved in the crime,
it was better for Senator Kashamu to step on the soil of the USA, stay
in the country for like three days and return to Nigeria.
The youths said by going to the USA and returning to Nigeria,
Senator Kashamu would have cleared his name once and for all and put the
US government that declared him wanted to shame permanently.
The NYM said it was strange that Senator Kashamu could be afraid
of going to the USA, prompting him to hide himself in the toilet
for several hours when the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA)
invaded his house in Lagos last year to effect his extradition to the
USA.
The youths pointed out that the NDLEA had said in May 2016,
through its Head of Public Affairs, Mr. Ofoyeju Mitchell, that the
agency’s men invaded Kashamu’s residence in Lekki, Lagos State in
response to the extradition request formally made to the Nigerian
government by its American counterpart.
They said no Nigerian will reject an opportunity of going to the
USA free of charge and if Senator Kashamu is afraid of being extradited
to the USA, he should accept the free return ticket to the USA and
free accommodation and feeding for one week that they are offering him.
The NYM reiterated its position that Senator Buruji Kashamu was
afraid of being extradited to the USA to face trial for alleged
drug trafficking, nothing that he only needs a trip to the USA to clear
his name.
