Nigeria's National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has placed a senator-elect Prince Buruji Kashamu under house arrest who is wanted by the United States in a heroin drug deal, an official said on Saturday.
Nigeria's Senator-elect and chairman of Organization and Mobilization Committee of the PDP in the South West Prince Buruji Kashamu had blamed some members of his political party, including former deputy national chairman of the ruling party, Olabode George whose wife is the director general of the NDLEA for his planned arrest by NDLEA.
The agency spokesperson said the operation is in line with the legal process of extradition.
"The Agency has commenced extradition procedures against Senator-elect, Buruji Kashamu in line with the laws of country. He has been in contact with his attorneys and will appear in court on Monday"
Kashamu alleged that the storming of his private home by the NDLEA operatives confirmed the alleged plot to illegally abduct and extradite him to the USA, despite his pending suit against such an action.
