The judge, Beryl Howell, made the order on Tuesday, saying that protecting the information from public disclosure is “neither logical nor plausible.”

The United States District Court for the District of Columbia has ordered top US law enforcement agencies to release confidential information generated on President Bola Tinubu during a “purported federal investigation in the 1990s.”

The judge, Beryl Howell, made the order on Tuesday, saying that protecting the information from public disclosure is “neither logical nor plausible.”

An American, Aaron Greenspan, had filed a suit in June 2023 under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) against the Executive Office for US Attorneys, Department of State, Federal Bureau of Investigation(FBI), Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

In his complaint, Mr Greenspan accused the law enforcement agencies of violating the FOIA by failing to release within the statutory time “documents relating to purported federal investigations into” President Tinubu and one Abiodun Agbele.
Between 2022 and 2023, Mr Greenspan filed 12 FOIA requests with six different US government agencies and components seeking information about a joint investigation conducted by the FBI, IRS, DEA, and the US Attorney’s Offices for the Northern District of Indiana and Northern District of Illinois.

According to Mr Greenspan, the records being requested involved charging decisions on the activities, including money laundering, of a Chicago heroin ring that operated in the early 1990s.

In each FOIA request, the American sought criminal investigative records about four named individuals “allegedly associated with the drug ring: Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Lee Andrew Edwards, Mueez Abegboyega Akande, and Abiodun Agbele.”

After the requests, all five US agencies issued “Glomar responses”, refusing to confirm or deny whether the requested records exist.

Mr Greenspan contested those responses at the Department of Justice’s Office of Information Policy (“OIP”). The OIP, however, affirmed the agencies’ refusal to confirm or deny the existence of the requested records.
The American then filed a lawsuit on 12 June 2023, naming the FBI, DEA, IRS, EOUSA, and Department of State as defendants and challenging each agency’s response to the separate FOIA requests.

Court documents show that the CIA was later added as a defendant in the First Amended Complaint, along with a challenge to that agency’s glomar response to the plaintiff’s FOIA request.

On 20 October 2023, Mr Greenspan filed an emergency motion seeking a hearing to compel the US agencies to immediately produce records responsive to his FOIA requests. He cited the Nigerian Supreme Court’s plan to begin hearing arguments in three days’ time in a litigation contesting Mr Tinubu’s 2023 election as the President of Nigeria.

Three days later, on 23 October 2023, Mr Greenspan’s emergency motion was denied for failing to “satisfy any of the requirements for emergency injunctive relief.”

Also on that same day, President Tinubu moved to intervene in the case, citing his privacy interests in his “confidential tax records” and “documents from federal law enforcement agencies that fall within the Privacy Act or exceptions to FOIA and should not be disclosed.”

In 1993, Mr Tinubu was said to have forfeited $460,000 to the American government after authorities linked the funds to proceeds of narcotics trafficking.

The issue of Mr Tinubu’s forfeiture of the funds featured prominently at the Presidential Election Petition Court when his opponents, Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, challenged the president’s eligibility to contest Nigeria’s presidency. But the election court, in a unanimous decision, dismissed the suits, affirming Mr Tinubu’s election.

However, on Tuesday, Judge Howell ruled partly in favour of Mr Greenspan in the US case

ALI should shut up his mouth what you people don't know about Average Yoruba people is that we aren't condoning stupidity here Tinubu I might lose southwest and win the rest of region if average Yoruba don't believe in his administration.

North are known for born to rule mentality it must be our people they can do anything for power.

If Tinubu can't deliver as a president average Yoruba will not vote him I believe that. Even Tinubu himself aware of that and if he voted out he go home because the president seat is not his birthright.

If you see any Yoruba supporting Tinubu that he can do or on do it mean he/ she is benefiting from Tinubu misfits presidency.

My advice for you non Yoruba whenever you want to abuse government direct your anger on Tinubu not Yoruba people. What's my business with Tinubu apart from being the same tribe nothing else bring us together.

what has he been Delivering? Hunger , poverty and Inflation even Your favorite meal ewa and Bread is now beyond reach .una no well at all

tundegan:
Tinubu is a man of integrity.

He will do what is right at the end of the day.

after Forfeiting 440k USD in America
FBI will be laughing at our stupidity

Saao:
oga you voted him for your own good after he bribed most of you. Again let me remind you that southwest and southest never voted for him because they don't trust him, so some of you that are evil politically in north, just for your pockets alone should first apologise for selling Nigerians for highest bidders, you should hide your head in shame for coming out to admit it. Thinking u can still cajole same north to go that route again is funny. The last I remember I u have only one vote. So don't speak for north speak for ur family alone.

The North Vote Atiku 4.5m Votes .this Shows Northerner are less Tribalist Vote Ronu 5.8m
Vote Atiku 4.5 while his Ronu members gave him 2.3m gave Buhari 2.3
Now want to appointments only to his Ronu crew . That Not even the Problem

gr8ofnnetwork:
You guys problem is that Tinubu no longer uses FG money to subsidize your lifestyle including the abusive BDC Allaweee. So sorry

The BDC USD is giving to Southern Japing to UK to school and do care ! If you give Malam BDC pounds at 500 he give Ronu at 550 to pay tuition to Japa .
If Malam BDC get pounds at 2000 he add 100 naira sell to Ronu to pay UK tuition to Japa
Malam is Making more Money na Ronu Japa dey suffer .
Malam dey House he spends Naira

1 poor Economic performance

4 . No Single Achievement after years
5 uncessary projects like Costal road

South south = Max 250k
Total 2.750m = equal to votes from Northeast only I never add North Central and Northwest

Everyone is ipob to some of you. North and killing north. Over 50 people killed in katsina few days back by same northern fulani, today hausas are helpless because of fulani murderers, you talked about north as if its ur personal property. In the middle of death u saw only politics and threatening a seating president because he's not from north. When buhari was doing rubbish last time, all of u hypocrite kept quite calling him sai baba covering death in the north as if lives of northerners means nothing. Go to benue, people are murder everyday by same northerners and you call that one big family for political gain.

Nonsense! Bitter cos we North are Kicking timbulu out . We North Voted him ( 5.8m votes ) even Lost his Lagos ,and osun and his emergency lovers gave only 2.3

We are big family but same north are killing northerners in the north from zamfara to yobe, adamawa, benue, etc. What's the purpose of politics without security and good governance? Can you comfortably travel by road in Northerner Nigeria without keeping ransom money somewhere?

My Daughter Worked For Buhari For 5 Years Without Pay – Buba Galadima | #Politicsnigeria

A chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) Buba Galadima has slammed former President Muhammadu Buhari for allegedly not paying his daughter during the time she worked for him.

Speaking on AIT’s Jigsaw program watched by Politics Nigeria, the politician said he was treated badly by the former president who was also his friend.

“We are friends and will continue to be friends, if I want anything from him, I will ask,” Galadima said about Buhari.

Continuing, he said his daughter had called the former president after they graduated from school and were unemployed for a long time.

“In fact let me confess to you on television, my daughter did NYSC, the one who lost her passport. That’s why she wanted us to go to Mecca to thank God.

He said his daughter searched for a job in the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) but could not get one and decided to call the president.

Galadima noted his daughter and her sister at that time scrolled through his phone contacts,saw the president’s phone number and decided to call him.

According to him, the former president picked the call thinking it was him calling.

“Then they said they are my children and they were calling him because country hard.

“They said, Baba country hard oo! Our father cannot get any job for us oo! And he told us that you’re his friend,” he said.

To this, Galadima said the president affirmed that they were friends and the younger daughter further explained to the president that she could not get a job with the NUPRC

“He (the president) just asked, to call Komolafe (the DG of NUPRC) and give my friend’s daughter a job. That was why she wanted to go to Mecca – to thank God and even to thank Mr President,” the NNPP chieftain noted.

He explained that he worked for former President Muhammadu Buhari for 13 years while his daughter worked for four years.

“My daughter worked for him for four years and he instructed that she should not be paid salary.

“Let them bring any voucher where she was paid. She worked for Buhari for four years in Osinbajo’s office without payment,” he added.

Asked why his daughter was not paid a salary, Galadima advised the interviewer to go and ask former President Buhari.

I still don't understand if these herdsmen are invincible or they have so much power to outnumbered the indigenes! No one has monopoly of violence! It's obvious the government won't do anything about these coz all these protest has been going on for many years! The youth of Akure should be ashamed of themselves if they can't defend their lands against foreign invasion! The earlier they take up arms to defend themselves the better! Waiting for government to help you in Nigeria is a total waste of time! Some rag tag individuals can't hold the whole country hostage ! Fight now or die while being a coward , choices are yours
