Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has reacted to the death of ex-Ogun Senator, Buruji Kashamu.

Obasanjo said despite using politics to manoeuvre the law to escape justice, Kashamu could not escape death.

Kashamu, prior to his death, was involved in a legal tussle with the federal government over extradition to the United States, US, over alleged drug trafficking.

However, the former Senator died on Saturday due to complications from COVID-19.

Reacting to his death, Obasanjo said the life of Kashamu should be a lesson to those still alive.

In a statement by his spokesman, Kehinde Akinyemi, Obasanjo said Kashamu’s life and history left “lessons for those of us on this side of the veil.”

“Senator Buruji Kashamu in his lifetime used the manoeuvre of law and politics to escape from facing justice on the alleged criminal offence in Nigeria and outside Nigeria.
