The attention of the Nigeria Police Force has been drawn to
a publication on page 4 of the Leadership Newspaper of June 18, 2015,
concerning the extradition battles of Prince Buruji Kashamu with the National
Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
For the records, the chambers of TRLP Law, acting on behalf
of Prince Buruji Kashamu, had on 14th April, 2015 written the Nigeria Police
Force concerning the status of Prince Kashamu’s legal battles in the United
Kingdom and United States, following which the Nigeria Police sought relevant
clarifications from the British High Commission.
The authority of the British High Commission confirmed on
27th April, 2015, through a letter to the Inspector-General of Police, that
Prince Buruji Kashamu was indeed arrested and tried in the United Kingdom
criminal court, but that the court was not satisfied that Prince Kashamu had a
case to answer.
However, for the avoidance of doubt, the British High
Commission letter in question did not derogate from the extradition request by
the US authority pending with relevant departments and agencies of government
in Nigeria.
