An Abuja Federal High Court on Wednesday dismissed the Federal Government’s suit seeking the arrest and extradition of Sen. Buruji Kashamu to U.S over alleged drug charges.
Justice Gabriel Kolawole dismissed the suit for lack of jurisdiction and abuse of court process.
Kolawole held that the suit was filed after orders were made by Justices Ibrahim Buba and O.E. Abang of the Federal High Court, Lagos, on the same subject matter.
This, he said, had robbed him of jurisdiction to entertain the case and constituted a gross abuse of court process, since the Lagos Federal High Court had coordinate jurisdiction with that of Abuja.
He said: “the instant suit was initiated in flagrant abuse of and disobedience to the orders made by Justices Abang and Buba of the Federal High Court, Lagos, which have extinguished the current action by the applicant.
