Kashamu: Supreme Court Set Date To Hear Extradition Suit

The Supreme Court of Nigeria has set June 10 to continue hearing the suit filed by Senator Buruji Kashamu (PDP-Ogun East) to stop the federal government from extraditing him to the United States of America (USA) on allegations of drug trafficking.

The Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) are respondents in the suit filed by the lawmaker.

The new date for the continuation of the hearing was made known in a notice sent to parties involved in the case.

Kashamu had in his notice of appeal to Supreme Court complained that the Court of Appeal erred in law by voiding and setting aside the two judgments of the Federal High Court, Abuja which barred Federal Government from going ahead with his extradition.

The embattled senator is praying the Apex Court to set aside the decisions of the Court of Appeal as they affected him.
