The
National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA has said that they would not leave
the house of Prince Buruji Kashamu a federal republic senator-elect, despite a
court order asking them to leave.
The
agency spokesperson in a press statement also said it is hard to believe that a
court of law will prevent a government agency from performing its
responsibilities.
“The NDLEA does not believe that any court will issue an order preventing a government agency from performing its statutory
responsibilities in a lawful manner. The agency has therefore refused to be
distracted and will continue to maintain presence at the residence. It is
advisable that Kashamu respects the law by submitting himself to the due
process of the law.
“The NDLEA wishes to
reiterate that his rights like that of other citizens shall be respected and
the due process of law followed in this case. The agency is prepared to further
increase her public rating and goodwill in the areas of suspect handling,
respect for human rights and the rule of law. We are prepared to explore all
legal means in handling this case to a logical conclusion,” Mitchell Ofoyeju,
the agency’s spokesperson said in a statement.
