Supporters of Ogun State Senator-Elect, Buruji Kashamu have staged a protest at the Federal High Court sitting in Lagos.
They carried placards bearing different inscriptions, all to the effect that he was being hounded illegally.
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, had laid siege on his house last week Saturday and placed him under house arrest.
The Spokesman of the agency, Mr Mitchell Ofoyeju had told Channels Television that Mr Kashamu would be brought before the court this morning for the commencement of the extradition proceedings against.
The NDLEA, however, failed to produce the Senator-elect in court as his lawyers demanded to see the arrest warrant on1 which authority the agency was acting. The agency could not provide one.
Channels TV’s judiciary correspondent, Shola Soyele who was at the Federal High Court, confirmed from the courts registry that there was no case against Mr Kashamu slated for hearing.
After waiting for the NDLEA to produce a warrant without success, Mr Kashamu’s lawyer, Ajibola Oluyede filed a contempt application against the Attorney-General of the Federation, Mr Mohammed Adoke and the Chairman of the NDLEA, Mr Ahmadu Giade.
The matter was heard exparte in chambers and not in the open court.
At the end of the hearing, Mr Kashamu’s lawyer told journalists that the court has summoned the AGF and the NDLEA Chairman.
