POLITICS: Senator Buruji Kashamu Withdraws N20bn Suit Against Obasanjo

Senator Buruji Kashamu has withdrawn a N20 billion libel suit he filed
against former President, Olusegun Obasanjo. The case was instituted at
an Abuja High Court and heard by Justice Valentine Ashi. Justice Ashi is said to have struck out the suit on May 26, 2015, after
Kashamu informed the court of his intention to terminate the matter. The
Senator, who represents the Ogun East Senatorial District, is said to
have claimed that he withdrew the suit due to “ongoing settlement talks”
between him and Obasanjo.
Obasanjo’s lawyers however stated,
according to Punch, that they were not aware of any such talks. Kashamu
filed the suit against Obasanjo after the former President described him
as a drug baron.
The Senator is currently facing extradition to the US to face drug charges which were levelled against him in 1998.
