The NDLEA spokesperson, Mitchell Ofoyeju has said they left
Mr Kashamu’s house on Thursday, 28th of May, 2015 after they officially
received a court order asking them to vacate his house, but that does not mean
he will not be extradited.
Mitchell however says they have already started a process
whereby Kashamu will be extradited to the US legally, and he will also be made
to face the court of law here in Nigeria.
“This is not the end of the case as the NDLEA has filed a
formal extradition process at the Federal High Court. The agency is following
the due process of law and will ensure that national interest is balanced
against the constitutional rights of Mr. Kashamu.
“The mission of the NDLEA is not and has never been to abduct
him, but to engage the extradition process. The agency is taking necessary
steps to ensure that Mr. Kashamu is available to stand trial as required by
law.
“To this end, the NDLEA has a provisional warrant of arrest
on him as well as a formal request for his extradition. The honourable thing
for him to do is to submit to the due process of the law as pledged.
“The NDLEA
wishes to reiterate that it will comply with all court orders and not
forcefully abduct and take him to the United States for trial,” the NDLEA said
in a statement.
