A Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday restrained the Federal Government from taking steps to extradite to a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party Senator Buruji Kashamu to the United State on allegation of his complicity in illicit drug trade.
Kashamu had, in the suit challenged the propriety of a letter by Shehu Bodinga of the Central Control Unit in the AGF’s office, requesting the United States’ embassy in Nigeria to forward a fresh extradition application after the judgment by Justice Gabriel Kolawole in suit suit No: 479/2015 voiding an earlier extradition proceedings.
The judge also held that since the subsequent judgment by Justice Kolawole was also not appealed, it remains subsisting and binding on all parties.
“It is my humble view that the AGF has no discretion in this matter. With the greatest respect to the AGF, he has no choice in this matter. The fact that the restraining order in the judgment in suit 49/2010 dated January 6, 2014 is still valid and subsisting, it is not a matter of sentiment.
