Ogun-East Senator in the National Assembly, Buruji Kashamu,
has withdrawn a N20.1 billion libel suit he instituted against former President
Olusegun Obasanjo before a Federal Capital Territory court in Abuja.
It was learnt that the presiding judge, Justice Valentine
Ashi, struck out the suit on May 26, 2015, following the notice of
discontinuance of the suit filed by the plaintiff.
Kashamu, a Peoples Democratic Party chief in Ogun State, was
said to have anchored his decision to withdraw the suit on “an ongoing
settlement talks” between him and Obasanjo.
But the lawyers who are representing the former president in
the suit said they were not aware of such talks
