A Lagos Federal High Court has extended the remand order of alleged drug lord, Abu\u00addallah Kazeem Muhammad, popularly called Adekaz, for another period of 15 days.<\/p>\n
The extension is sequel to the request of Nation\u00adal Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) to further detain the drug baron. <\/p>\n
The presiding judge, Justice Daniel Osiagor, extended the re\u00admand order, while granting an Ex-parte motion filed and argued by the NDLEA lawyer, Mr. Abu Ibrahim.<\/p>\n
In urging court to extend the remand order, Mr. Abu told the court that the request is pursuant to Sections 35(1) (c), (4), (5) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Ni\u00adgeria, 1999 (as amended); Sec\u00adtion 3 of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency Act Cap N30 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004; Order 26 Rule 6 of the Federal High Court (Civil Procedure) Rules 2019 and under the court\u2019s inherent Jurisdiction.<\/p>\n
Abu further told the court that the grounds for the or\u00adders sought for was for the purpose of a detailed inves\u00adtigation and that the investi\u00adgations to be embarked upon by the NDLEA will take a prolonged time outside the constitutional period of de\u00adtention of the respondent, as the NDLEA will need to extend its investigations to Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE).<\/p>\n
He further told the court that the respondent was de\u00adclared wanted by the court in the case of the allegation against him and in connec\u00adtion with the seizure of 900 grammes of Cocaine from an alleged drug courier, Bolujo\u00adko Muyiwa Babalola, and he is reasonably believed to be involved in drug trafficking and Money Laundering of drug proceeds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
