Court Bars NDLEA, AGF From Seizing Kashamu’s Properties

The Federal High Court in Lagos on Tuesday restrained the
Federal Government from seizing Senator Buruji Kashamu’s properties over drug
trafficking allegations.

Justice Ibrahim Buba held that it would amount to abuse of
powers for the respondents to infringe on Kashamu’s property rights without
following due process.

The judge, therefore, barred the Attorney-General of the
Federation Abubakar Malami (SAN) and the National Drug Drug Law Enforcement
Agency (NDLEA) from violating the senator’s rights to own property.

Kashamu had sought an order of perpetual injunction
restraining NDLEA and the AGF from taking possession of his assets.
