The parties agreed to halt the extradition process on Saturday, February 13, 2015 following a petition by the Ogun East Senatorial District Senator's lawyer to the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions.
The parties agreed to look into the allegations and issues raised by the Senator and conduct a thorough investigation as well as outcome of the suit on the matter at the court before further actions are taken.
Kashamu’s lawyer, Ajibola Oluyede, had in his petition claimed that NDLEA operatives had perfected strategies to forcefully take him to the US in order to answer alleged drug related charges.
