People Will Die Before I could Be Extradited To The US - Senator Buruji Kashamu 

According to Punch, it stated that senator Buruji  kashamu said in a statement released by him that about three to five people will die before they could succeed in extrading him to the US to face court over drug allegation.

He described the action of the united state government as being illegal and stated that he believed Buhari government has respect for the rule of law as well as integrity and for so would not allow him to be taken away by the US.

He explained that the charge brought against him had been buried 14 years ago by the British government and other three Nigeria courts. Kashamu said all that the US could do was to “abduct” him, claiming that no extradition proceedings could be lawfully  commenced against him

The senator blamed former president of Nigeria Olusegun Obasanjo for this recent drug scandal and claimed that he was mistaken for his brother Adewale Kashamu.

Kashamu vowed that any attempt to ‘abduct’ him  to the US would be met with violence, saying he planned to engage the services of members of the Oodua Peoples’ Congress for protection.

He added that, “There is no extradition that can be brought against me again. The only thing they can do is to watch and catch me on the road; take me to the airport or Cotonou or throw me inside a vessel and take me through the Atlantic Ocean. But I am not going to let that happen.

“I don’t go to the beach, and now, I will go and hire OPC, may be like 40. I will load them (in my vehicle), because the day we meet, one has to kill one. That is for sure! One has to kill one because I am not ready to go anywhere. Before that happens, maybe about three, four or five people will die.

“But I do not believe that this government can entertain this kind of rubbish. I do believe that this government has integrity and they (officials) are credible; they believe in the rule of law, because if they want to do it, they could have done it. “Obasanjo has been pushing them, using one Sandra, a former ambassador of the United States; he’s the one pushing everybody, meeting all these judges, but what have I done?”

He stated, “My brother was living in Chicago, I sent him to school. He’s very well educated. He was the one having girlfriends there; he was the one who caused a lot of problems. Even when I was in London, they still traced almost $2m into his bank account while I was in prison; they still continued doing the transaction. If you go through the last British judgment, it is there. The Interpol people were the ones who went to the bank and got all the information, and carried all the documents, they came to London and gave evidence in court.

In a statement titled, ‘US court ruling: I have no case to answer’, dated January 28, 2017, Kashamu argued that he was not the offender but was mistaken for wanted in the US, but his demise younger brother, Adewale Kashamu.

“The Beninoise Interpol produced evidence showing that the Benin telephone number, through which the US offenders communicated with their West African collaborators, belonged to my brother, Adewale Kashamu, and not me, Buruji Kashamu.

“When they were looking for him, the NDLEA people went to my house ; they searched my house. They went to my car company, they sealed my car company and they took over 30 vehicles from there.
