Supreme court fixes date to re-open suit on Sen. Kashamu’s final extradition
Prince Buruji Kashamu, a former Senator, had filed two appeals before the apex court praying it to void the request of the American government that he be extradited to the USA to answer criminal charges against him in respect of an alleged drug importation into the country.
The hearing had earlier been put on hold to enable the court to clear the backlog of political cases that arose from the last year general elections which were time bound. The ex-senator is praying the apex court to set aside the decisions of the Court of Appeal as they affected him. He urged the Supreme Court to allow the judgments of the Court of Appeal to enable the federal government extradite Kashamu to USA to prove his innocence or otherwise in the hard drug trafficking criminal charge filed against him by the American government since 2015 when he was alleged to have escaped to Nigeria.
The appellate court in the two separate judgments voided and set aside all orders made by a Federal High Court between 2014 and 2017 restraining the government from proceeding with the extradition.
