Senator Buruji Kashamu has withdrawn his N20 billion libel suit against
former President Obasanjo. Senator Kashamu had on February 6th 2014
dragged the former President before an Abuja High Court for 'maliciously
and recklessly' publishing a letter titled, ‘Before it is too late,’
addressed to former President Jonathan in December 2013, where Obasanjo
described him as a fugitive wanted in America for drug related offences.
He asked the court to restrain President Obasanjo from using the letter
or any part of it in his book, My Watch. The former President however
went ahead with publishing his book with the controversial letter as a
content in the book. Senator Kashamu then approached the court to ban
Obasanjo's book which was granted by the court.post by expdonaloaded.blogspot.com..The court however lifted the ban on the book in April after lawyers to
the former President argued against the ban.
The court was to resume hearing on the suit when Senator Kashamu filed
for withdrawal, citing ongoing talks between him and the former
President. Lawyers to the former President however denied knowledge of
any talks of settlement between him and their client, Obasanjo.
