Ogun State, Senator-elect, Buruji Kashamu, has thanked the electronic and print media organisations as well as the nation’s judiciary for saving him from humiliation.
He said this following the six day siege laid in his premises by the operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
Kashamu, in a statement on Sunday to media houses expressed relief after the agents of the NDLEA vacated his home.
“I wish to particularly thank www.lindaikeji.blogspot.com, Channels Television, African Independent Television (AIT), Nigeria Television Authority (NTA), Silverbird Television, Core TV, Wazobia FM, Inspiration FM, Classic FM, Rhythm FM, Cool FM, ThisDay, Vanguard, Daily Sun, The Punch, The Nation, Leadership, The Guardian, Tribune, Daily Independent, Daily Times, Sahara Reporters, British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and other traditional and social media organisations too numerous to mention for proving yet to be the voice of the voiceless.
“I am really grateful to the media and the judiciary and would forever live to cherish these institutions and their personnel. Words would fail me in showing my appreciation to you, but know that I owe you a debt of gratitude that I may never be able to repay”, he said.
NDLEA agents had, for six days, attempted to arrest Kashamu to facilitate his extradition to the United States to answer drug-related charges.
But Kashamu locked himself up in his bedroom ad refused to come out.
He, eventually, heaved a sigh of relief after two separate courts orders the NDLEA vacate his Lekki Phase 1 premises.
