Senator Buruji Kashamu is in big trouble as the American Government is bent on arresting him in Nigeria to face drug trafficking charges in the USA. To show President Donald Trump Government’s seriousness about the politician’s drug case, the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago has upheld a lower court’s decision to dismiss Nigerian Senator Buruji Kashamu’s lawsuit against the U.S. government.
The senator was said to have been indicted in 1998 for allegedly running a heroin syndicate in Chicago and in 2015, the politician filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice in an attempt to prevent U.S. Law Enforcement Agents from “abducting” him in Nigeria.
It is interesting to know that the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) collaborated with the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in Nigeria to raid Mr. Kashamu’s Lagos home and abduct him in order to extradite him to the U.S. A Nigerian court, however, order the DEA to leave him.
