Fugitive
Senator Kashamu Buruji scampered off an Aero craft – while other passengers
remained seated – over what was labelled a minor hitch.
Here
are details of the development that attracted laughter from co travellers
Prince Buruji Kashamu, the
Ogun east senator may appear to be a tough guy, mounting a labyrinth of legal
obstacles, to stall the moves by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency to
ship him out to Chicago.
But we can report today
that Kashamu is also a faint-hearted person, not willing to take any risk about
his life.
Kashamu was billed to travel
to Abuja from Lagos, after he failed to commit the office of the
Attorney-General of the Federation and the NDLEA for criminal contempt over
extradition moves to the USA.
He had sat in the Business
class of Aero Flight 127, Abuja-bound, along with his lawyers when the captain
announced a minor problem with the plane. The captain said the light of an
indicator had not come on brightly enough and that the Aero engineers are
fixing the problem.
To keep the passengers at
ease, the captain gave the assurance that the problem was nothing to worry
about. And that the resolution of the problem will not take three minutes.
No sooner the captain
finished talking, than Kashamu signalled to his lawyers, asking them to alight
from the plane. Other passengers who had calmly listened to Captain Kunle’s
explanation remained glued to their seats and burst out laughing when Buruji
and his lawyers scampered away.
Aero Flight 127, which
left Lagos at 14.45 landed in Abuja without incidents.
