The Northern Youths Movement (NYM) has alleged that Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senator from Ogun State, Buruji Kashamu has paid Federal High Court Judge, Justice Okon Abang N2 billion naira to rule in his favour in the last two years.

In a press release signed by its Chairman, Mallam Ishaya Jato on Tuesday, the group said the Federal High Court President, Justice Ibrahim Auta, should be asked why all cases involving Senator Buruji in Abuja were always presided over by Justice Abang.

The group alleged that Justice Abang “must have received not less than N2 billion from Senator Kashamu for controversial orders on PDP matters and the judgment on Abia State governorship tussle that was set aside with ignominy by the Appeal Court.”

They said, “between 2011 and 2012, Justice Abang while in the Federal High Court in Lagos handled suit numbers; FHC/L/CS/282/12 and FHC/L/CS/347/2012 and was reassigned suit numbers FHC/L/CS/1248/2011,FHC/L/CS/347/2012 and FHC/L/CS/535/2012 and in the last six months, all cases involving Buruji Kashamu on the PDP are either assigned to Justice Abang or Justice Ibrahim Buba.”

“It is on record that Justice Charles Archibong must have given not less than 20 orders of injunction, Committal to prison e.t.c. for Buruji Kashamu, with most of the judgments not more than two paragraphs.

“The mantle to do Buruji Kashamu’s bidding as paid, fell on Justice Abang when Justice Archibong was dismissed. Justice Abang must have granted not less than 20 orders for Buruji Kashamu who pays per order.

“It was Justice Abang while in the Federal High court, Lagos that granted order barring the Nigeria Police, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, the State Security Service, and the Nigerian Customs Service from arresting and extraditing Senator Kashamu to the United for trial over drug related offences.

“Senator Buruji’s other judge; Ibrahim Buba of a Federal High Court in Lagos was the one who ordered personnel of the NDLEA out of Kashamu’s home.”
