PM NEWS has just reported that a Federal High Court, Abuja has dismissed Federal Government’s application for a warrant to arrest Senator Buruji Kashamu for extradition to the U.S. for trial on drug charges.

According to VANGUARD, presiding over the case, Justice Gabriel Kolawole of the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja accused the NDLEA of trying to move him to sit on appeal over two concurrent verdicts of the Lagos Division of the same high court, an action he said amounted to gross abuse of judicial process.

The judge held that he lacked the jurisdiction to entertain the suit ‎while the two previous judgments that nullified the extradition process were yet to be set aside by a higher court.
