After six days of laying siege on the residence of Senator-elect, Prince Buruji Kashamu, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, last night vacated the Lekki residence of the embattled chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Kashamu had been restricted to the toilet of his bedroom since the siege began.
Confirming the latest development, Kashamu’s media aide, Austin Oniyokor, said NDLEA operatives have departed, adding that Kashamu was presently attending to his health and would speak to the media after recovering.
Oniyokor thanked the judiciary for their intervention.
“We also salute the judiciary for once again rising to the occasion and proving yet that it is truly the last hope of the common man and the oppressed. We are grateful that the judiciary has again affirmed Prince Buruji Kashamu’s innocence of the charges against him, thus turning for good what was meant for evil.
“Our appreciation also goes to the media, civil society groups, student bodies and all well-meaning Nigerians for their prayers, support and solidarity during the period.
“After attending to his health, Prince Kashamu will address the media, Nigerians and the whole world on his ordeal and the intricate web of political intrigues behind the wicked attempt to abduct him for no just cause using the instrument and machinery of state.”
