Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, said on Saturday that late Senator Buruji Kashamu hid behind the law and politics to evade justice in his life time.
Obasanjo made the comments even he condoled with the Ogun state governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun on the death of Kashamu whom he identified as Sen. Esho Jinadu.
In a condolence letter to the governor, signed by his Special Assistant Media, Kehinde Akinyemi, and made available to newsmen, Obasanjo acknowledged however, that the demise of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stalwart was sad, but noted that, “the life and history of the departed have lessons for those of us on this side of the veil.”

The statement read further, “Senator Esho Jinadu (Buruji Kashmu) in his lifetime used the maneuver of law and politics to escape from facing justice on alleged criminal offence in Nigeria and outside Nigeria.
“But no legal, political, cultural, social or even medical maneuver could stop the cold hand of death when the Creator of all of us decides that the time is up.
“May Allah forgive his sin and accept his soul into Aljanah, and may God grant his family and friends fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.”
