Nigeria - No fewer than 10 operatives of the NDLEA yesterday reportedly invaded the Lekki Residence of Buruji Kashamu around 5 am following a purported extradition request from the United States on drug- related charges.
According to PUNCH, they were said to be heavily armed and were ruthless.
As soon as they stormed his residence, some of the NDLEA operatives brought out a yellow tape and cordoned off the area, while others went straight to the gate.
After they reportedly knocked on Kashamu’s gate, his security men were alerted about their mission.
Kashamu’s security men at this point demanded the arrest warrant from the NDLEA men but they could not produce any.
Based on this, they were prevented from entering the residence.
However, this action was said to have infuriated the NDLEA officials who stormed the compound after destroying the gate.
The media aide to Kashamu, Austin Oniyokor, in a statement explained that the NDLEA operatives after they had forcibly entered the compound, headed for the living rooms and began to destroy all the doors one after other, in a desperate move to arrest Kashamu.
Oniyokor described the latest onslaught on his principal as a confirmation of the alleged plot to illegally abduct him despite the pending suit against his abduction.
Oniyokor, however, accused a Peoples Democratic Party leader, Chief Bode George, as being behind the onslaught against his boss, “in a bid to score cheap political points.”
He said he is doing this through his wife who is the Director-General of the agency.
