The embattled Ogun-East Senator-elect, Buruji Kashamu, remained holed up in his Lekki mansion 48 hours after the operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency swooped on his residence to effect his appearance in court.
The anti-narcotic agency is seeking to deport him back to the United States of America to face drug-related offences.
Meanwhile, the NDLEA, in a statement on today by its Head, Public Affairs, Mitchell Ofoyeju, stated that Buruji’s mansion will be condoned off until his appearance in court.
The statement read, “The agency is working hard to ensure that he submits himself to the due process of the law. His house remains cordoned off by anti-narcotic officers pending his appearance in court.
“The extradition move by the NDLEA for Kashamu to answer drug trafficking charges is legal. The agency has not violated his rights and will continue to work within the confines of the law. He has been assured that due process of the law shall be adhered to at every stage.
“NDLEA is the appropriate government agency to implement his extradition request and will diligently pursue the processes to a logical conclusion.
“It is expected that Kashamu will willingly submit himself to the laws of the country under which he seeks to serve as a Senator.”
