Ok, you want them to include you security details of individuals?, right?. What business do you have with that?
How does removal of those white boxes blocking Tinubu’s name automatically translate to “including security details of individuals?” 🤷

Joshcoli:
The CIA is now off the hook — They don’t have to confirm or deny whether they have anything on Tinubu. That means no damaging revelations will come from the CIA, at least for now.

But here’s why it’s not full relief:

The FBI and DEA are still in play. The judge has told them to look again and process any documents they haven’t yet released.

If those agencies find new documents, they may still be forced to release them — especially if the court finds they’re in the public interest.

The decision doesn’t clear Tinubu’s name — it just limits what can be disclosed from certain U.S. agencies.

It’s a partial legal win for Tinubu because the CIA won’t be releasing anything. But he’s not fully off the hook — and the story isn’t over, especially with that May 2 deadline approaching.

Was the version released by FBI in 2023 redacted? Yes or No

Then read the Judge’s ruling earlier this week and explain how your bunkum addresses that.
The document you posted was from what year?. The statements I copied was from there, I guess you didn't even read it before posting it, if you did, that was the first thing that was stated before any further info.

It was the redacted version issued in 2023.

What will be issued next month is the unredacted version. The white boxes hiding Tinubu’s name will be removed.

Is this too difficult to understand?

Since you know what you should be there, then go and put it na. He's not convicted in any court in the US, he's not a criminal, so his personal info must be confidential, including his SSN, Student & other personal records. Anything not related to the issue cannot be put out publicly. Get sense.

This is from a website that's Anti -Government and Anti- Tinubu, and a more authentic report because it quoted the Judge's statements unlike the other Fake News wailers are wanking over. No wonder, I checked a few X accounts of some chief wailers and everything was dry. Even David Hundeyin who should have been the first to push it was nowhere to be found. So, what exactly are headless mob on Nairaland celebrating?. It just shows you guys are far behind and only waiting for a poop to be dropped in your mouths before typing on your phone.

CIA, DEA, FBI said they have released the documents they have already but Nigerian wailers are saying they have some left with them. Maybe, Nigerian wailers wanted US agencies to manufacture a document linking Tinubu to it, then release it to the public to make them happy. Maybe wailers will manufacture their own documents and give it to CIA to release it. Because I don't know the colour of their problems.



-Kiss the truth!
Have you forgotten how the wailers manufactured Tinubus balubas video in Aba? Thats what they expect FBI to do for them. They for do am themselves but they are scared of CIA because they know cia will come to Nigeria and fish them out. Are they not masters of alterations and fakes? All their fake products full Alaba and all over Nigeria.

You're just playing dumb here, which was why I said you have hardly read the link to the document you posted. It took me less than a minute and the first thing that came up on the first page was the statements below, like I said, unless you don't understand simple English. So what else are you blindly arguing about?. I gat no time for back & forth abeg.

For your information, Congress excluded three discrete categories of law enforcement and national security records from the requirements of the FOIA. See 5 U.S.C. § 552(c) (2018). This response is limited to those records that are subject to the requirements of the FOIA. This is a standard notification that is given to all our requesters and should not be taken as an indication that excluded records do, or do not, exist.This is the final action for the above-numbered FOIA requests.

I suggest you read the judge’s ruling from Tuesday and stop displaying your foolishness here.

The US District Court for the District of Columbia has ordered top law enforcement agencies to make information about President Bola Tinubu public.

Beryl Howell, the judge, made the order on Tuesday.


Responding to a motion by Aaron Greenspan, an American who is seeking a reconsideration of an earlier ruling, Howell said protecting the information from public disclosure is “neither logical nor plausible.”
Greenspan had accused the law enforcement agencies of violating the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) by failing to release within the statutory time “documents relating to purported federal investigations into” President Tinubu and one Abiodun Agbele.

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

What was released in 2023 was a redacted version, now the judge has ordered for a full disclosure.

I'm honestly disappointed, I was thinking a new big scandal is coming out only to now see that it was that sane okd forfeiture of some dollars which has been trashed out during Atiku's failed attempt to prevent Tinubu from contesting and swearing in. Now someone trying to disgrace Tinubu ended up spending his money to clear him better ahead of 2027. Why are Tinubu's enemies always ended up working to favour him? I envy his star o

You’re simply an idiot who can’t comprehend the basics.

The document issued by in 2023 was a redacted version blocking Tinubu’s details.

This Tuesday The judge ordered the law enforcement agencies for a full disclosure exposing Tinubu’s details in those same documents.

This is so straightforward for anyone with a functioning brain to understand.

Don’t pass on your stupidity to your offsprings. Jeez!

Then why is the judge saying this if those redacted areas will remain redacted? Can’t you think?

Una be mumu o, do you know what non-exempt records are?. They tax returns na, who declared someone else's tax returns publicly without his/her consent?. No be why dey no gree release Trump's tax records because he didn't give consent. US has privacy laws, you dare not release some personal info just like that.

They should let all this headlesss mobss trend this more so we can all focus on this and they forget to do the neccessary planning for 2027 election.

I am sure by 2026, Asiwaju himself will prop up one person to reopen the case and let his enemies focus on that while he continue to win election.

They’ve been doing this same rubbish since 1999.
LOL. You're smart.

Tinubu loves to send them on fools errands while he keeps mute.

After 6-7 months of US legal cases... Atiku and Obi found out they had been played.

They stupidly want to fall again for the same trick.
