Dshocker:
In America or Europe, if you have a past of drug related dealings, you can't be allowed to run for any public position.

Apart from that, Tinubu is too old and corrupt, i see no reason why sane beings are rooting for him.

1. Do you also believe that America you know will accept out of court sentiment for drugs related offence .
2. Will America accept less than 10% of money in the account of drugs barron and allowed him to go with the balance?

Tinubu was NEVER convicted!


"Fact-Check: Did US Court Convict Tinubu over Drug Dealings? 

Claim: Both social and traditional media were recently awash with claims that a 53-page certified document released by a US court indicated that the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress, APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu was a drug lord convicted in the US. 

Full-Text: The post of the claimer reads: “US Court Releases Certified True Copy Of Judgment For The Forfeiture of $460,000 Belonging To Bola Ahmed Tinubu For Narcotics Trafficking And Money Laundering.

“It is no longer news that on October 4, 1993, Bola Ahmed Tinubu forfeited $460,000 to the United States Government for his involvement in narcotics trafficking and financial transactions in violation of the U.S laws. This 59-page attested court judgment confirms this.

“In the cause of the investigations, representatives from Mobil Oil were interviewed regarding Tinubu’s employment status. The representatives confirmed that Tinubu was indeed employed by Mobil Oil Nigeria Ltd as a Treasurer.

“This position, however, does not involve the transfer of large amounts of money between banking institutions. Mobil Oil representatives stated that under no circumstances would Tinubu be permitted to retain money belonging to Mobil Oil in accounts bearing Tinubu’s name. Finally, Mobil Oil confirmed that the corporation never had any accounts in banks in the southern suburbs of Chicago.

“Consequently, the U.S Court ordered that the funds in the amount of $460,000 in the name of Bola Tinubu in account 263226700 held by First Heritage Bank represent proceeds of narcotics trafficking and was involved in financial transactions in violation of U.S laws.

“The Court also ordered that First Heritage Bank shall issue a $460,000 cheque payable to Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and be forfeited to the United States Government.”

Verification: In a letter dated February 4th 2003 which emanated from the US Consulate in Lagos, addressed to the then Inspector General of Police, Tafa Balogun with reference SR.3000/IGPSEC/ABJ/VOL.24/287 and obtained by PRNigeria, the United States clarified that a record check on then Governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu returned negative for any criminal arrest records, wants, or warrants for Mr Tinubu “(DOB 29 March 1952).” 

It further clarified that its check was based on the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)’s National Crime Information Center (NCIC) – a centralised information center that maintains the records of every criminal arrest and conviction within the United States and its territories. 

PRNigeria fact-check, therefore, queried the database of the FBI’s NCIC, and results returned negative on the search terms. 

However, recent reports from the PeoplesGazette, Moneycentral, and ICIR Nigeria among other credible media outlets revealed that the US has released a certified copy of the alleged Tinubu’s drug dealing and money laundering.

Part of the report reads, “latest certified copies of the court case, obtained on August 10, showed Mr Tinubu and two others named K.O. Tinubu and Alhaji Mogati were involved in banking proceeds of illicit drugs and money laundering with Heritage Bank and Citibank.” 

The document upon which the report was based and was even shown on National TV was said to have been released by the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois however, there was no direct attribution to the source who released the document from the said court. 

PRNigeria, therefore, visited the official website of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois and went to the “Federal Record Lookup page” of the website, entered the “location”, “year,” “case type,” and “case no,” as seen and reflected on the alleged document but there was no document of such nature associated with the said court according to findings from its official website.   

PRNigeria‘s further investigations to independently verify if Mr Tinubu actually entered a plea bargain in 1993 which made him forfeit the sum of $460,000 led it to reach out to the clerk who attested to the release of the true copy on 10th August 2022. 

Substantiation by US Court Official

PRNigeria tracked and contacted Johny Khuu, one of the signatories on the Court’s document with necessary enquiries on the matter.

Mr Khuu after checking the court records confirmed the existence of the document. 

“After reviewing our records, I have indeed certified and attested those case files. Kind Regards,” Mr Khuu said. 

When asked further why the document was not accessible from the federal record lookup, he replied as follows. 

“The federal record lookup is for seeking the location information of the physical documents for the case. In most cases, where the age of the case is before 1999, the case documents are most likely within the records of the Federal Records Center (FRC) and National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

 

“For members of the public to view case documents digitally, they must access them through the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) system. Please note that many old case documents are in the process of being digitized, so should the documents be inaccessible in PACER, that is when the federal case lookup would be of use as the location information can be used by the FRC and NARA to determine whether it is within their records or within the records of another court,” Khuu concluded. 

However, further investigations by PRNigeria revealed that the Judge assigned to the case as far back as 1993, Judge John Albert Nordberg had died on 12th March 2021. 

Tinubu’s Response 

Meanwhile, Mr Tinubu’s spokespersons have admitted to such forfeiture in 1993. 

The spokesman of the APC presidential campaign, Bayo Onanuga said that the forfeiture arose out of an investigation by FBI agent Kevin Moss of Tinubu and Compass Investment and Finance accounts at First Heritage Bank and Citi- Bank in the U.S.

He further narrated as follows, “On January 10, 1992, Mr Kevin Moss requested and obtained a court order to freeze the accounts.

“On January 13, 1992, Mr Moss telephoned Tinubu in Nigeria to justify the amounts in the accounts, running into $1.4 million. Part of the money was said to have been deposited by two Nigerians, being investigated for drug offences.

“After the telephone conversation, Tinubu instructed his lawyer in the US to file a lawsuit against the order freezing his accounts.

“This dragged on till 15 September 1993, when an agreement was reached for an out-of-court settlement. Judge John A Nordberg, of the US district court for the Northern District of Illinois, read out the agreement reached by the two parties. Part of the funds, $460,000 was seized by the government.” 

Legal Interpretation 

Speaking to PRNigeria on the development, an Abuja based criminal litigation lawyer, Bar. Fatihu AbdulRaheem said the case is more of an indictment than a conviction.

Citing the case of Umana vs. Attah (2004),  the court held that an indictment is not evidence that an  offence has been committed.  “Technically speaking, an indictment is merely a charge or information. It is only when it is accepted by the court that the prosecution will be called upon to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt.

“Conviction has been simply defined by the court in Mohammed V Olawunmi (1990) as a finding of guilt and a sentence

“Therefore, under our criminal jurisprudence, conviction and indictment are distinguishable both in substance and nomenclature.

“Even in the United State when a person is indicted, it only means they will be given formal notice that they are believed to have committed a crime and therefrom, an explanation will be required by way of defense,” the lawyer concluded.

Conclusion: Investigations by PRNigeria on Mr Tinubu’s case in the United States did not involve criminal arrest and conviction based on facts from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)’s National Crime Information Center (NCIC) however the released court documents are VALID. 

The case is a possible indictment from the accusations and allegations and not a conviction where one is found guilty and sentenced by a court of competent jurisdiction

PRNigeria, therefore, concludes that while it is TRUE that Mr Tinubu forfeited the sum of $460,000 according to attested court records, the claim that he was convicted of criminal charges is FALSE.

Racoon:
The most absurd and foolish thing ever done is the insulting attempt by your drug bagman & baron god in insulting the sensibility of a nation by contesting the presidency of the most populous black nation despite his baggages of fraudulent & criminal nature surrounding him.

From his forged primary/secondary school certificates, variants of CSU certificates, identity theft scandal, election bribe bullion vans cash, hiring fake religious clerics, Alpha-Beta corruption among many.
Just one person.

Your warped prismatic zombified mindset can never allow you to understand the implication of Bola Ahmed Tinubu Chicago $460, 000 heroine-drug forfeiture scandal on the integrity of this nation and its citizens.

Any wonder some of the most visible achievements in the so called Lagos he created are stupendious display of questionable riches and the numerous hoardes of touts, thugs, alayes, owomida miscreants and other anti-social elements across the city of Lagos.

Sometimes I wonder why people walk on the road while their brain is left at home.

CoronaVirusRelo: is religiously blinded and I'm very sure he's a thug working for asiwaju. He's so shameless that he comes openly to defend Tinubu and even call his master Tinubu a god. How can someone with so much baggage be allowed to even run for president. The international community are watching and laughing at us.

OriOko88:
Mk PDP focus of campaign and strategy. We no need distraction now. No court will disqualify tinubu. Mk we leave matter for Mathias abeg.

Atiku is winning this.

You r correct but disqualification is not the idea but to tell NIGERIANS who the man realy is. Though many will still follow him blindly.

CutieKing:
Never knew pdp is this daft to have fallen for apc trap...this is how they will stay engaged with nonsense until the day of election.
No court of law convicted tinubu of any criminal proceeding...his forfeiture case was even a civil case but here they are fighting tooth and nail to divert attention from Atiku spv allegations.
Interesting days ahead.

he was indicted of a criminal offence and not convicted. The forfeiture lead to him not being convicted

And the court documents clearly showed it wasn't a civil case but a criminal one

Cherish233:
Tinubu can not make a good president let's tell ourselves the truth and stop being blinded by tribalism, this man is too old and sick habbah!!!😕

“But when you talk of leadership of over two hundred million people you know that if you remove tribal sentiments, you know that he is incapable, those that will rule are those around him. This is the reality. He is – I said it!
“I sat with him for two hours in London, when you talk of green, he will give you an answer of red, he can’t even decipher, he has very serious dementia, I believe he has Alzheimer’s because he cannot even hold a cup of tea.

NO BE ME TALK AM OOOOO.

SmartPolician:
This is needless. PDP should focus on the forthcoming election because it is just a couple of weeks away.

Besides, no Nigerian judge will disqualify Tinubu at this time because they wouldn't want to heat up the polity or create tension around the country. A presidential hopeful is not a gubernatorial candidate, the difference is huge.

heat up the polity ? clowns... Tinubu is a nobody , he is only immortalized by the yourba iliterates. The educated Yoruba don't send him . Only the touts thieves rapists and robbers support Tinubu
