Update: Based on our reading of some of the case filings, we believe Nigerian President Bola Tinubu may face criminal charges after he leaves office (when he no longer has immunity ratione personae) in connection with the heroin-trafficking allegations.

We must stress that the filings we have reviewed do not explicitly establish that the U.S. government intends to charge Nigerian President Tinubu, but the FBI and DEAHQ responses to certain questions raise serious questions about future intentions and whether a law-enforcement investigation or proceeding may still exist.

On two separate occasions, the FBI and DEA were asked to agree that, more than 30 years later, no investigation is pending and no enforcement proceeding is ongoing concerning the crimes described in the underlying cases. They refused to confirm either assertion. Instead, the FBI and DEA stated that they are “not obligated to comment on whether law enforcement investigation(s) or proceeding(s) may exist.”

What is significant about that answer is that the FBI and DEA directly answered numerous other factual assertions in the same filing. From the records, we know that some individuals associated with the underlying investigation are dead and that the FBI and DEA filings reference wiretaps. The FBI and DEA’s refusal to confirm that no investigation or enforcement proceeding exists is noteworthy. Their refusal doesn't prove charges are coming against President Tinubu, but given how President Donaln Trump operates, it raises the question: Why won’t the FBI and DEA simply say that no current investigation or proceeding connected to these cases or involving President Tinubu exists?

Who remembered the “Irreparable damage” saga years ago shortly after he was sworn in and trooped out to the US displaying his victory?

In that trip to the US for the UN submit, which has been the only time he dared ventured into the US since 2023, his lawyers pleased with the judge that “IRREPARABLE DAMAGE” would be done to him if the judge allows disclosures on his criminal record.

I think the tiny thing, amongst other things Tinubu is so scared of lies in the record itself: a criminal past that was not punished, and knowing the US Justice system for what it is, all wrongs must be punished even if it takes 100 years!
That’s why Tinubu only sole hope of escaping criminal charges and prison sentencing lies in his staying immune via political power…. Now the chickens are coming home to roost!

I saw Emmanuel Macron yesterday during his visit to Stockholm where he met Swedish business and military elites. Sweden placed order for 4 French made Frigates. A copy of the frigate was anchored in the waters along Skeppbro anchorage, side by side with the Swedish made Destroyer, Helsingborg.

Daddy Macron might not know his godson Tinubu is waiting to report Judge Howell to him. Well, we know Western ladies, especially professional ones are fiercely independent. Even Macron have collected slaps from his own sugar mummy. Don’t mind Tinubu he thought Western ladies in professional duty is Iya Akara he can do anyhow. Macron has no leverage on the US Justice system, save one or two crooked agents hard cash can buy…but hey….the publicity is mind boggling and even Satan will think twice before accepting money to thwart Justice in the disclosure case before Honorable Judge Meryl Howell, agbara nwayi US.

Now, I heard, Tinubu might finally be charge for his drug crimes and any other potential crimes those files are holding. His sneaky support and donations to the Democrats against Trump and Republicans might be the red line for Trump, coupled with his cluelessness and continued ties to the drug underworld!

Obi wan finish Tinubu before elections? Which kind side kicks be this?

Macron is in Stockholm as I write this!

I cycled past where he is meeting PM Ulf Kristersson today in Stockholm.

Leaders with purpose meeting to better the lot of their respective countries, Nigerien is running to his mafia friends in Europe for help to stop his drug files from hitting the public domain!

BrickandLace:
Someone should please warn him, Emmanuel Macron is not his friend. He is only using him.

He'll end up under the bus...

The city of Chicago is talking about Tinubu drug files. Radio station WBBM is talking about it…. Mhhhmmm

Even DSS go chop watery beans for Kuje after 2027 elections .

Those criminals in Aso Rock giving them orders to stifle rights of Nigerian will join them in Kuje

The Trump letter writing is ongoing! Nigerians in Spain & Italy naim carry am for head. There are fewer Nigerians here.

I have sent mine and will continue sending. On the sidelines, the King of Sweden will hear about Tinubu drug case. And one pro democratic institution I have identified in Sweden.

Now, this is why it makes sense for the criminal in Aso Rock to leave.

Weekends is always busy for me. I do a side hustle, earning between 15.5 Euros to 35 Euros per hour, sometimes clocking 11 hours on the go. Week days follow sometimes. This is beside running and developing my business.

During pay day, 25-30% of these hard work goes to the Swedish State as tax. 50-60% of the balance ends up going to Africa, Nigeria to solve one need or another for relatives. Things I believe the Nigeria State can easily provide.

For instance, if I’m hungry and I don’t have money, I know and have like five different places here in Stockholm I can easily walk in, show my ID card and eat to my satisfaction. Every damn day. On Sundays almost all the churches, non Nigerian ones, offers fika & food too. Health care, there are also social cushions. Sweden donot have Oil & gas, but transparent and humane leadership!

Nigeria have Oil & gas, but criminal leaders like Tinubu.

That is why I do all these. I can not be sweating my ass off doing Tinubu responsibilities, while the criminal use Nigeria resources to enjoy with his Lebanese friends.

There is no way you can understand these. So I rest my case.

Bigkoko said he intends to write a petition to the King of Sweden about President Tinubu

How you no go like am?

Pikin wey dem use biscuits deceive no know say eating only biscuits Dey stunt childhood growth!

Continue Dey like ni….. but it does not change the fact that a criminal running to his mafia friends in Europe will not stop a fiercely independent Judge Howell from delivering justice in the disclosure case before her!

More flowers for Von Batten!

I know my father and mother, and ancestors up to at least 1900, when they first work the railway and coal mines in Udi, Enugu for British Colonial establishment.

I can name all the schools I attended in Old Bendel State (mid-west Nigeria), and Imo state…including addresses. I can name all the companies and organisations I have worked in and currently working…. I have maintain the same set of name from childhood till date. None of my certificate or details have alternate between Female, Male or Trans. I have been consistently Male.

The same cannot be said about Tinubu….

simpleseyi:
And na somebody born this OP

For the first time in many many years, someone outside the tiny clique if top criminals and collaborators in US justice system have seen the scope and real life doings of the criminal in Aso Rock!

The criminal knew that it’s just a matter of time before Judge Howell order a release, not through FBI or DEA or Justice Department, but through the court system. She will just order t court clerks to upload the documents for the opposing side to download and view!

Most Nigerians do not know how how the Justice system in the West operate. They break cracks little by little.


The criminal knows and that’s why he’s running to Europe for help! Europe having their own more press in problem of Russia threats to deal with?

Tinubu go learn the hard way.

dododawa1:
No peace for the Wicked

Go school una no free. It’s see na!

How does writing a letter to the King of Sweden about the criminal past and ongoing present of Tinubu constitute à judicial panel?

VIPs and notable aristocrats need to a bit about the criminal France & UK foist on Nigerians. As he runs to his friends in Europe, we will let European aristocrats know about this crack head old man!

Temidayo9:
You are the judge and jury at the same time😁

Well, I don’t expected you westerners living in slums of Lagos to understand the peace & beauty that comes with having a fair, meritorious working society if you’ve never seen or living in one before!

That’s why Igbo hardliners and Nationalists appears to be more popular now, compared only to during the civil war!

We are different, so I don’t expect you to understand

Exousiang01:
One will unfortunately make an erroneous assumption that the fact that you live in the western would would make get you some level of education.

You Easterners are just something else.

Perhaps part of the money for the coastal road ended up as the flush funds they used in buying FBI silence….check out the speed the criminal in Aso Rock used in approval the coast road, releasing money sharp sharp to his buddy, the Lebanese criminal. That tells you all you need to know.

I’m confident Judge Meryl Howell knows more than me that FBI fears no drug cartel hits, nor the rat in Aso Rock. They collected money from him and don’t know why to say to Judge Howell….

While going to a side hustle today, I say a French warship on Swedish waters, perhaps on a friendly visit given the hostile altitude of Russia to the Baltics & UK. It’s important you know I dislike the UK and I consider them the worse of all Europeans including Russians. And I have my reasons, personally and communally.

Then my mind flies to the criminal in Aso Rock whose criminal past in the US, he is fighting tooth & nail to prevent the Nigerian public from knowing. He is in Europe…pity the rogue is nowhere near Stockholm.

But as someone living in a country where transparency is the watch word, I will write a petition to the King of Sweden so they know first hand the kind of human leading Nigeria and perhaps prevail on him to step aside or alllow Democratic process to run fully in 2027 elections. Tinubu can not be the rogue he is and still rub insults by rigging elections…. Like is this how greed destroys the soul of people?

A long-held view across Africa, the Middle East, and South America is that Western powers install or protect puppet leaders to control countries and their resources. Many Nigerians now believe Tinubu is such a puppet and that the hidden records concerning alleged heroin trafficking are the strings.

We may never know whether Tinubu has ever traded Nigerian secrets or resources in exchange for protection, but many Nigerians see the past JoeBiden DOJ’s efforts to keep these records hidden as further proof that Western powers are protecting p Tinubu. Whether that belief is right or wrong, the secrecy is feeding it.

The longer the records remain hidden, the stronger the belief becomes that foreign powers have something they can hold over Tinubu. This mistrust will remain regardless of the outcome of the FBI and DEA FOIA case. This is why Western powers must ensure that Nigeria’s upcoming presidential election is free and fair. Anything else heightens the risk of Nigeria retrogressive.

Concerning FBI agents talking of assassination if they release the documents…. I consider it self indictment. Nobody on earth local or foreign can kill an FBI agent without been caught in 72 hours….except it’s a hit carried out by themselves on themselves.
FBI should simply say they got paid handsomely, in untraceable cash delivered by sovereign security to keep the files hidden. Saying FBI fear assassination from drug dealers is a huge lie…

Have you found solutions for your erection challenges? Ain’t you supposed to find solutions on why you are being lied to, cheated and disrespected?

Subject: MEDIA TIP: Public Interest in U.S. Court FOIA Suit Over Nigerian President's FBI Dossier (Case No. 1:23-cv-01816)

To the Newsroom / Foreign Desk / Legal Desk,

I am writing to alert your desk to an ongoing Freedom of Information Act lawsuit before Senior Judge Beryl A. Howell in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (Greenspan v. EOUSA, Case No. 1:23-cv-01816).

The FBI has submitted sensitive 1990s investigative records concerning Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to the court under seal and in camera. Simultaneously, legal interventions have been filed to block their public release under FOIA Exemption 7(C) privacy protections.

Over 230 million citizens have a fundamental right to unredacted transparency regarding the documented history of their Head of State. We urge your outlet to report on this ongoing proceeding, investigate the public interest standard for unsealing, and bring global media scrutiny to this critical FOIA review.

Case Reference: Greenspan v. Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys et al. (Case No. 1:23-cv-01816, D.D.C.)

Your name,

A critical milestone has just been reached in the U.S. Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) case regarding historical law enforcement records concerning President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (Greenspan v. EOUSA, Case No. 1:23-cv-01816).
The FBI has submitted sensitive investigative files to U.S. District Judge Beryl A. Howell under seal and in camera (privately).

Meanwhile, President Tinubu’s legal team filed motions asking the court to block public release, citing individual privacy rights under FOIA Exemption 7(C).

230 million Nigerians deserve complete, unredacted transparency—not secret reviews behind closed doors.

DO NOT CALL THE JUDGE’S CHAMBERS

Many people want to call U.S. District Judge Beryl A. Howell’s office to demand the release of these records. Calling chambers will not work:

Judges Do Not Take Public Votes: U.S. federal judges hold lifetime appointments. They do not have constituents or voters, and they do not tally phone calls or public opinions to make legal rulings.

Ethics Rules Block Private Messages: Under U.S. federal court rules, staff are legally prohibited from passing off-the-record phone calls or emails to a judge (ex parte communication limits).

Phone Lines Will Be Blocked: If thousands call, court staff will disconnect the line or set it to an unmonitored voicemail. It will not reach the judge or impact the case.

WHAT WE MUST DO INSTEAD: PUT PRESSURE ON THE MEDIA

Federal judges do not check phone logs, but they do evaluate public interest standards, and global newsrooms monitor public demand.

Under U.S. FOIA law, privacy claims can be overridden if there is a compelling, documented public interest in disclosure. We show that public interest by making international media cover this court battle.

Over the next 24 to 48 hours, email newsrooms and legal reporters. Force mainstream outlets to pay attention to this judicial review and report on the global demand for transparency.

COPY & PASTE EMAIL TO SEND TO NEWSROOMS…….

To get FBI release Tinubu’s file
Read this tweet and copy the email template and send to newsrooms

‪The FBI issued the warning in a court filing while responding to a Freedom of Information Act, FOIA, lawsuit before Judge Beryl Howell of the US District Court for the District of Columbia in Washington, DC‬


Now you know the criminal in Aso Rock is well embedded with global drug cartels and that’s where Nigeria budgets goes.


Are surprised Mexicans are shifting drug making labs to Nigeria? One of their own is in Aso Rock

Fear who no fear these people…….for a morsel of bread, black na white, and white na green!


Sometimes they don’t even get anything, just that they love that kind of life. Tufiakwaaa

He said this during the campaign of 2022

"I swear to God. I can swear with my life and that of my first child that presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu never had anything to do with drugs while he was in the US. How can a 1st class graduate be doing drugs? do this liars know what it means to graduate with a 1st class in an American university? Its all lies from those online Obidients. This is why I don't take all those ranting from those online obidients seriously." -Journalist Babajide Ottito of TVC

Aug 21, 2026.

"If the US release those files I will conclude that they just want to destroy our democracy. How can they be considering releasing those file that's like 40 years old at this era when Nigeria economy is booming and stabilizing and at a time when the president is delivering on all his campaign promises. Let's watch and see. But I know they won't release it. It is of no use to any Nigerian"

- Journalist Babajide Ottito of TVC.

Tinubu already knows he will lose the 2027 election, he is planning to pull a Jonathan by congratulating Peter Obi before INEC finishes announcing the results.

He is banking on Nigerians’ easily distracted minds and short memories, hoping that one carefully timed phone call will make them forget every evil him, Buhari and Atiku unleashed on this country through APC.

Nigerians would immediately start hailing him as a statesman because peacefully surrendering power after losing an election has now obviously become an extraordinary achievement in Africa.

That criminal must go to jail or go the way of Buhari ASAP to escape jail. Either way, his criminal dynasty will fall.

Imagine how the Ghanaians, SA, other Africans will be looking at Nigerians!

A country run by an old criminal held at the mercy of ordinary employees in the US!

Old criminals have no shame. They’re the worse of criminals.

Meanwhile the truth is gradually cropping out.

Tinubu is a confirmed criminal

isio1:
If I may ask, are all these not signs of greed or entitlement syndrome? There's absolutely no way a man would want to eat his cake and still have it. The day, the president dropped his second term ambition, the day the case dies a natural death.

On a second thought, how comfortable is it, with the presidency to have the name of the president soiled globally in such a manner and still want to remain in full glare of the world? For me, I am so so ashamed already.

I have been to several countries, including African countries. Nigeria is the most morally decayed country I have been to.

Let me leave you guys with this question: Imagine Ulf K, the Prime Minister of Sweden, had a drug-trafficking file in the U.S.

Do you know if Judge Howell demands for Dangote refinery right now, Tinubu would give it to her?

What would have happened to the relationship between the two countries? He would definitely be operating from a weaker standpoint, which would make it easier for Trump to take advantage of him.

Watch movies, read books, and learn about drug syndicates and cartels. There is no way a country can prosper with a kingpin at the helm of its affairs.


We speak because we will not live in the West forever. One we would like to come back home…,,but not a country where criminals like tinubu rules!

If not that Nigeria is a den of criminals…a home to satanic Christians and Muslims. Tinubu’s wife, Iya Skara, is even a pastor in Redeem. So many imams are campaigning for the crack head, including some Igbos like Obi Cubans. How do you explain to a decent human being that Nigerians are okay with having a drug lord as their president? A man at the mercy of common employees in the US?

No wonder whites have no regards for Africans. If the rogue in Aso Rock has no decency to At least resign and leave, is the National Assembly equally filled with thieves & rogues?

If the crack head was performing, perhaps we would say, well, at least he is delivering. But this old rogue has reduced the purchasing power of Nigerians and sent millions of people into extreme poverty. I keep asking: how does this guy still have supporters, apart from his wife and children?
