A statement on Sunday signed by its
spokesperson, Ofoyeju Mitchel, said “The fact is that a formal request
for his extradition had been received from the Embassy of the United
States of America.”
“According to official report, Kashamu has
been on the wanted list of both the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration
(DEA) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) of the Department
of Homeland Security (DHS).
“Kashamu
was indicted in the Northern District of Illinois, United States on
charges brought against him by ICE. According to the United States court
documents, Kashamu in his days as the leader of a prolific heroin
trafficking ring based in Chicago, Illinois was known as ‘God,’ ‘Daddy,’
and ‘Kasmal’.
“He
is wanted to stand trial on charges of conspiracy and importation of
controlled substances, namely heroin, into the United States dating back
to 1994.”
Meanwhile, Lagos lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN) yesterday
said that the on going effort by federal government through the National
Drug Law Enforcement Agency to extradite Ogun State Senator-elect,
Buruji Kashamu to the United States is in line with the law.
He
advised Kashamu to surrender himself for trial in the United States
instead of embarking on a prolonged legal battle in Nigeria.
Falana
pointed out that there was an extradition treaty between Nigeria and
the United States, which was signed on June 24, 1935 and entered into
force on June 24, 1935.
He
said though the treaty was signed with the United States by the British
colonial regime, the treaty was like several others, adopted by the
federal government.
