mastermind behind this invasion of privacy. However, some people don't think
so.
“As a matter of fact, the court has ordered parties in the matter including the NDLEA to maintain status quo until judgment is delivered on Wednesday 27th May 2015.

“We have confirmed that
they do not have a warrant of arrest, just as the office of the Attorney
General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice has said that it didot
give any order to carry out this illegality.
“We have confirmed that
this illegality is being designed and executed by Chief Bode George whose wife
is the Director General of the NDLEA, all in a bid to score cheap political points.
“We urge all well meaning
Nigerians to prevail on NDLEA, Chief George and his wife to toe the path of the
rule of law and follow due process. Nigeria is not a Banana Republic! The
United States(US) being the bastion of democracy
, the rule of law and due
process should not lend itself to this kind of illegality,” the statement said.
Buruji is
believed to be the “Alhaji” whose drug dealings formed the inspiration for
Netflix hit series “Orange is the New Black”, which was written by American,
Piper Kerman. All the people involved in the drug dealings have all been
punished under US law. Only Buruji has remained elusive.
