The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in Washington, D.C, has fixed a new date to advance a motion to release or withhold President Bola Tinubu’s records by its security agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).


In 2022, anti-corruption campaigner Aaron Greenspan teamed up with Nigerian journalist David Hundeyin to submit a FOIA request for the FBI to turn over Mr Tinubu’s case files under their control, particularly his role in a narcotics-trafficking ordeal that had him forfeit $460,000 to the U.S. government in 1993.

The files were also expected to clarify decades-long controversies regarding Mr Tinubu’s background, including the name, age and gender under which he entered the United States.

Last September, the FBI granted Mr Greenspan’s request to release Mr Tinubu’s records, numbered 2500 pages, which the agency said would be released in monthly batches of 500 pages and then scheduled for October 2023.

But Mr Tinubu fiercely resisted the move as he pleaded with the court that he would be “adversely affected” should the files be in the public domain.

Mr Greenspan’s efforts to expedite the release of the FBI files before the Nigerian Supreme Court could pass a judgment on the electoral dispute challenging Mr Tinubu’s victory were unsuccessful.

Judge Beryl Howell had in November 2023 allowed Mr Tinubu to intervene and oppose his records from being released, saying he had a right to protect his interest given his claim that he would be “adversely affected.”

But on Thursday June 6, Ms Howell asked the opposing parties (Messrs Greenspan and Tinubu) to submit a joint status report latest September 3 in furtherance of the matter.

“Upon consideration of the parties’ joint status report, directing the parties to submit another joint status report by September 3, 2024, advising the court whether any disputes remain between the parties, and if so, proposing a schedule to govern further proceedings,” Ms Howell said on Thursday

Can Tinubu be able to bribe the US court as he normally do to the Nigerian judges and INEC chairman, Mahmoud Yakubu?Tinubu can buy anyone no matter the amount because he controls Lagos State government resources where there are multiple taxation and everything is tax tax tax and levies.

This news is for obi and his supporters

Are we still on this matter?

Wahala dey o!

Even though I am not a supporter of Tinubu,make America rest,they are the biggest thieves,why play politics with his records?why did you guys not release it before he was sworn in as president

I don't like Bola Ahmed Tinubu but at this juncture US shouldnt bother releasing Tinubu's criminal records.

Let us just be managing his incompetence and disastrous rule because if he is removed and the person behind him is made President, Otilor.

This is gearing towards 2027.

Tinubu will see a very robust opposition that even INEC will dare not encroach on the people's choice. Which is definitely NOT Tinubu..

Useless people...

America can keep the records if they so wish. They can never have a man with many despicable criminal past as this man for any reason though they have high sophisticated criminals within its fairly operational system.

They should please do and release everything. The FBI records that were released last year, what came out of it? Just smokes without fire. If there is anything serious, it would be in the open by now. The most important document is the court judgement that we’ve all seen already. No indictment, no criminal charges, nothing that is against the law.

Dis wan na good news for Atiku.

Dem need something from the druglord

America is blackmailing Tinubu. They are trying to wipe him into line. E b like he don dey get moral. Nah fingering be this.

Justice for Tinubu

He doesn't need to bribe the court, he already bribed the government that's why they allowed him to be sworn in. It's a bargaining chip they will always use to blackmail and control him. It's not surprising that everything he did on assuming office are according to IMF, Worldbank etc.

Do you think america would have incriminating records of a presidential candidate if a country as strategic as Nigeria and not use it against him? They will use it as a

So what difference will it make?

Gazette wants to continue fingering your brains where Hundeyin left off. Since last year, you have been putting different dates for the release of the imaginary documents. You keep labouring in vain.

Donald Trump a former president couldn’t manipulate their judiciary system but Tinubu can . You guys are pathetic 🤮🤮.

That’s the reason, ReNo, Okupe , FFK, Bwala, used you guys to cash out , because you people’s emotions over run your senses; the next that’ll dump you is Hyundai after he cashes out then you’ll continue the blame again that Tinubu has bribed him.

So if nothing tangible comes out of it, you'd assume bribed the US court

Obidients are the daftest group of humans anywhere in the world
