CharlesCNG:
Morning. Yes — and thank you for asking because the documentary proof is actually quite explicit.

First, on whether this ever went beyond a Glomar response:

On April 8, 2025, U.S. District Judge Beryl A. Howell ruled in Greenspan v. Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys, Civil Action No. 23-1816, that the FBI and DEA’s Glomar responses concerning Tinubu were IMPROPER and “must be lifted.”

Even more importantly, her conclusion ordered: “The FBI and DEA must search for and process non-exempt records responsive to the FOIA requests.”

The CIA’s Glomar response, by contrast, was upheld. So there is really no ambiguity here: the FBI/DEA matter went beyond Glomar by express order of the federal court.

Here is the judgment itself:
[Judge Beryl Howell’s April 8, 2025 memorandum opinion](https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/district-of-columbia/dcdce/1:2023cv01816/256792/48/?utm_source=chatgpt.com)

Secondly, you asked an excellent question: when exactly did the U.S. Government “publicly acknowledge” that Tinubu was a subject of the wider investigation? Was there a press conference?

No. And this is where the legal meaning of “official acknowledgment” matters. The acknowledgment came through OFFICIAL U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE COURT FILINGS in 1993.

On July 26, 1993, DOJ filed a verified civil forfeiture complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. That complaint expressly incorporated by reference the affidavit of IRS Special Agent Kevin Moss.

Judge Howell ruled that because DOJ incorporated the Moss affidavit into its own complaint, DOJ legally adopted the affidavit’s statements as its own. She further explained that public DOJ court filings constitute official acknowledgment binding DOJ components such as the FBI and DEA.

Then comes Howell’s crucial finding:
Taken together, she held, those materials constituted an “official acknowledgment that Tinubu was one subject of a criminal investigation” involving, among others, the FBI and DEA.

That is why the FBI and DEA could no longer say: “We can neither confirm nor deny that such an investigation existed.”

DOJ itself had already confirmed it through its own public court filing. One important qualification, however:“Subject of an investigation” is NOT “criminally convicted.”

The ruling establishes that an investigation existed and defeats the FBI/DEA’s blanket Glomar response. It does NOT magically convert an investigation into a criminal conviction of Tinubu.

And none of this is unusual in American law. That is precisely why I cited the Donald Trump Mar-a-Lago case: courts can compel disclosure, reject blanket secrecy, and still permit lawful redactions protecting privacy, witnesses or investigative methods.

FOIA opens files. It does not pronounce guilt. So the documentary position is actually very clear:

YES — FBI and DEA originally issued Glomar responses. YES — Judge Howell expressly ruled those Glomar responses improper and ordered them lifted.

YES — Judge Howell held that DOJ had officially acknowledged Tinubu as one subject of the wider investigation and ordered the FBI and DEA to process responsive non-exempt records. But keep the calendar in view.

We are talking about an investigation dating back to 1992–93 — roughly 33 to 34 YEARS AGO — not a fresh FBI investigation of Tinubu in 2025 or 2026.

And about a decade after that investigation, in February 2003, the U.S. Consulate in Lagos responded to an inquiry from Nigeria’s Inspector-General of Police after an FBI National Crime Information Center check. The result was negative for any criminal arrest record, want or warrant concerning Bola Tinubu.

That 2003 letter does NOT prove there was never an investigation — Judge Howell’s ruling now confirms there was one. But it does make an important distinction: INVESTIGATED IN THE EARLY 1990s does not mean ARRESTED, WANTED OR A FUGITIVE.

And today's FOIA litigation is about disclosure of records from that decades-old investigation. It is not evidence that the FBI has suddenly reopened a criminal case against Tinubu 33 years later.

NO — that official acknowledgment did not come from a press conference. It came from DOJ’s own publicly filed 1993 forfeiture complaint incorporating the Moss affidavit.

And NO — none of that is itself a criminal conviction.

I hope that helps your discussion with Ottersberger. The judgment itself is the best evidence because we don't have to rely on what either Tinubu’s supporters or opponents say. Judge Howell wrote it in black and white.

Forget this long story bro we don't want someone with a criminal record as our president.and that is final. Tinubu is a criminal. Sowere always say this you think he doesn't know wat he is saying? Even the people involved in that FBI case that Time were bought over.. and that is final. Maybe that is what is delaying the release..

BATified2023:
Tinubu get sense pass all of u

He will keep u busy with this till he wins again n after winning he will tell them to release it so u can know u are phuuuls

And you think trump will seat and watch all this happen? Why is this happening again at this time that election is close? Don't you think something is cooking? You need to wake up n smell the trees bro. Trump n d US Congress does not like tinubu. He has 2 strong cases... 1 the Christian genocide he is denying and claiming it's not happening. The US came and saw it all. He is not fighting insecurities in his country but can fight for other countries and resolve everything in less than 1 hour

2 the drug case.. you know trump doesn't like anything drug related.... You can't be president and be dealing drugs in a 3rd world country.. trump will take you out. Just wait.. n see

When will these people stop disgracing us for God's sake? Wen will all these end?wen will these people understand that crime doesn't pay .. you will eventually get caught.y not stop. Get a legit business to do

callmeDDD:
And if they release it, they will now bomb aso rock and put their candidate eh? Opposition should know that this is a lost course with the type of politics we are playing in Nigeria. They should rather pursue what they will do if they get elected rather than pursuing a fruitless journey. Someone will say but it will bring shame to tinubu, and Nigeria, as if the man care and send Una papa?
All what he wants is power power and power. Someone you can't remove when all cabals and odds were against him , it's now you want to use a kangaroo judgement and a backdoor to remove? Yeye.
By the time he perfects his rigging plans, it will be too late to gather momentum, as opposition wouldn't have anything to convince the citizens and will be relying on the masses that will disappoint many candidates by the time of elections. When you hear some results of voting that time, some people will nearly collapse. It will be a shocker. Just wait , let them be wasting their time to remove master rigger planner.

Wat a beautiful nonsensical post you made here.... It's people like you that seat back and accept anything they throw at you thinking you don't have a choice or say. Or can do nothing about it.. look around the world. Which world president is a drug dealer for God's sake? What kind of embarrassment is this? Ok as he became president did life get better for U? If he left the economy as he met it. We will have said ok we d Nigerians can manage the shame as long as we are living better under his leadership. But nothing good is forthcoming and we can't even travel out of the country and feel proud to be Nigerians? Come on bro.. it's too much

Educationalserv:
it a National and international shame for a cartel member to lead Nigeria God punish Buhari to allow this happen

Amen and amen bro.... People who are drug dealers should not be allowed to rule. The consequences are very high n bad for the people of the country.

seunmsg:
Where is the evidence? Can you post it for us to see?

Don't worry trump will finish the job ... It's only a matter of time... Baba will either run away or end up in jail.... How did he get to be president in the first place with all the irregularities around him? I pity people like you who are supporting him... Shame on all of you.

madridguy:
This Mama should be made as an ambassador of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency with national pardon.

This will see the light of the day . With bala blu at the hirm of affairs 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ezewuzie01:
A half-baked 3rd class graduate like Peter Obi would have gone there to demarket Nigeria by pouring praises on Bangladesh and Indonesia. Thankfully, the agulu crook will never be President.

How can U say a thing like this? Y will you say he can never be president? If tinubu can be president den Peter obi can also be president.. obi is 2million times better Dan tinubu in all aspect of life.... Am not a supporter of obi but I call a spade a spade...even osinbanjo is better Dan tinubu

Baba will travel to France 2days before the event 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 America is not for him ooooooooooooooo

This one has received a credit alert 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Were U in prison the whole time?

The bobo chicago is a conman who pretended to have fought for democracy. Even if he has memory loss, the clowns he hired as special adviser can't even playback his old videos to him. Why? Because he is a sadist.
Babablu enjoys watching Nigeria to suffer.

That was his campaign promise... To reduce the purchasing power of the people. Slow down the economy. And widen the tax net.. he has already fulfilled it few weeks into his administration. So wat ever he's doing now is to better his life not the lives of Nigerians.. don't expect anything to change for good. He should better be thrown out of that seat before he destroys what is left of this bleeding country

Some people just come out to say trash on TV after smoking shit.... I support the restoration of subsidy.. on every sector. Education health power. Oil etc. let Nigerians benefit something from their country for once.. in the western world things are not as hard as it is here..Wen u don't have a job government support U monthly. They pay certain allowance to your children. Some even have free education and health care. What is Nigeria doing for it's citizens

Balablu is being scammed in his administration 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 he thinks he is smart n wise... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 This is a case of a scammer being scammed by a smarter scammer 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love how the movie is playing out..

It's good to honour your parents..give them a befitting burial...but wat you do for them when they are alive matters most.. did he give the father 50million when he was alive?

This is how to identify a liability... Nobody in this modern era wants a liability as a wife or girlfriend. Any girl with this type of mentality is an almajiri girl and a hucker. Directly or indirectly... 90% of Nigerian girls need help not love. So they have turned relationships into business. Or a job. It's a pity

Nice one 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 but how much last?

All these socialites...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Alot of them have No visible job or business... But they live large in high estates. Driving fancy cars. ETC.. this is mostly what dey do....

Ok fine... Were is the money? What did you do with the money..... Nigerians want to know

Ezeama400:
He’s even sending Shettima for an ordinary UNGA meeting..

He knows he might end up in prison Wen he enters America

Tony the price is supposed to be 19m or 20 m why are you selling for 11m? Or have you repented now?

Wat....?? Have things gone this bad God abeg...
See what bad government have caused

You for go do your work oooooo. See what has happened now. All for what Nigerian election? Politicians? .. see what has happened now. The entire family will be in sefear pains now.. RIP to the dead...

17 million? Is it for 2 of that car or just that 1?

Cum4me:
When car prices go come done. make common still buy watin him want. Upon say Tinubu reduce custom fee the price are still the same. Wtf

If U ask them they will say it's old stock.. to ship this car no pass 6m even with clearing out of naija port .

You will be shocked to know what brought this loyalty of Paul to Jude... Maybe he used to buy him biscuits and stopped fellow kids from beating him Wen they were kids. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Maybe that is why he's still loyal to him till today

I[quote author=meobizy post=140278479]What is in this marriage that women want to kill themselves over? I thought it was only Nigerian women. Akata women do the same. This one that they bully men to stay married to them is an all time low.

Portable’s situation: “You can go and impregnate women outside. You can stay married to your first. All I know is I am your property.”

2Baba’s situation: “I am your wife! Our marriage is over when I say it is.”

Men don enter wahala. Joy, Irish Spring, Lux, Dove, Dettol and Imperial Leather have never cheated on me nor given me headaches.

I’m sure 2Baba’s multiple baby mamas have repeatedly taunted Natasha, having her fight shadows. 2Baba’s endless womanizing will not allow her sleep well. The man, sef, wetin dey between woman thighs wey he wan die inside? All that varies is the packaging. They look, feel and smell the same.[/quot

Omoh I disagree with this your last statement oooooo 🤣🤣🤣. Veejay are not the same ooooo

This is 2026 development should have gone far beyond this... I don't see anything special about this estate... This is like a normal hood in the United States. So. 🤷🤷🤷🤷 To me it's not something worth bringing up as news. It's just that Nigerians are used to suffering and low standards of living. If not. We should expect more than this.... Am out

Dabadwela:
5m for manual transmission car?

You never ready to sell

I swear... I don't know why they keep hypiing car prices... It's well

He still dressed like it's 1994.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 This is 2026 bro get some presentable clothes...😂😂😂😂😂😂

Did they kidnap another school children again apart from that one that happened in in May,? If no...y is the commendation coming after 2months 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Someone should pls explain to me.. 🤣🤣
