National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA have stormed the house of a Nigerian elected senator and member of the people democratic party (PDP), Buruji Kashamu wanted by the United States on drug-related charges.
Buruji Kashamu has been been battling drug smuggling accusations in the USA in the past year, and had caused a rift between Buruji Kashamu and ex-president, Olusegun Obasanjo.
Austin Oniyokor, Buruju Kashamu media aideS confirmed the news that nearly two dozen anti-drug agents arrived his Lagos home early this morning.
Austin Oniyokor said :
Yes it is true, the NDLEA officials are here, they are not less than twenty in number, but we are issuing a press statement on this very soon.
A U.S Federal grand jury in 1998 had charged Kashamu and 14 others for their alleged involvement in an international conspiracy to smuggle heroin in America. Though he denied the accusations and said the U.S is mistaking him for another Prince Buruji Kashamu.
