According to a report by Punch newspaper, the court has ordered that Kashamu can be picked up in coordination with local authorities outside the country.
It was also reported that the appeal court gave the ruling, while rejecting an appeal by the Senator to prevent his arrest by US security operatives.
Buruji has prayed that the court should prevent his abduction by US authorities to face heroin trafficking charges.
