FBI, Others To Release Tinubu's US Probe Reports On May 2 by etokhana(op): 6:08am On Apr 30, 2025

Parties involved in the investigation of the alleged drug-related case involving President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 1990s are expected to release investigation reports on Friday, May 2 as ordered by the court.

The agencies expected to make their investigation reports available are US Attorneys, Department of State, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

The release followed an order of a US District Court for the District Court of Columbia, which in early April ordered remaining parties in the matter, apart from CIA, to jointly file the report on the status of any outstanding issues in this case, as described in the accompanying order to release the documents on May 2, 2025.

The orders, according to the Premium Times, came from Judge Beryl Howell, on a freedom of information request, which he affirmed that withholding same from public disclosure is “neither logical nor plausible.”

The suit was filed by an American, Aaron Greenspan, in June 2023 under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) against the offices of the US agencies, accusing them 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, 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.

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.”

Lawyers had earlier told Daily Trust that the order was amenable to appeal.

However, the Presidency said the information being sought was not new and that it did not indict the president.

Will this stop Tinubu? Even if he's caught on tape like ganduje that is meant to be in kuje will it stop him from being the president or "winning" his reelection? What's the point. Nigeria is finished

Ever wonder why Escobar has not visited USA or congratulates Trump? His sins are too many .

One Person. DRUG lord
One person Forge Certificates
One Person money Laundering with Bullion van
No known name
No known state of Origin
No known class mates

Breaking news the Warri Refinery they spent almost 1 billion dollars don pack, yet brainless maggots still de support him.
Step back and think for a moment if Obi had all these on him. APC won’t let him rest, not that he has even rested from hungry 20k e rats.

What exactly are they looking for in the reports?

What we heard during campaigns:

1. Tinubu is not well.

2. Tinubu did not attend primary and secondary schools.

3. Tinubu is a drug dealer.

4. Tinubu did not graduate from Chicago State University. After someone went to do a deposition, it was established that Tinubu did graduate. So they shifted narrative that Tinubu used someone's identity.

5. After Tinubu won because they were too distracted to focus on winning, they said Tinubu bribed INEC chairman. If they had brains, they could have said Tinubu bribed state RECs and returning officers, because the results were not read by INEC boss but by returning officers. INEC boss only read out the final compiled results.

6. Tinubu has a Guinean passport.

7. FBI and CIA have 2,500 pages on Tinubu.

8. Hand dey shake, leg dey shake, Baba wey no well, he dey shout emilokan.

9. Tinubu is a CIA asset.

One thing is that even if people deny the obvious, even if Tinubu is everything they say he is; those who lost elections are licking their wounds. Instead of understanding why, they are looking for dirt to throw. The biggest issue with those fighting Tinubu is the harvest of self-contradictions. Some people are already celebrating FBI and CIA files. Maybe the new information would be that Tinubu has three eyes or 5 additional legs.

If all the things peddled against him could not stop his victory, would the things peddled now help the opponents get traction? Even if you give the opposition a smoking gun, they'd misuse it.

Emefiele and Arise News handed them a smoking gun with naira repainting voodoo and media propaganda against Tinubu with the likes of Rufai Oseni ordering Tinubu to come to their studios to face interrogation. At the end, the principal flagbearer picked a weightless running mate, refused to reconcile warring parties and went into an election.

They lost. They are losing their own base now, but Tinubu is their problem!

Their problem is spiritual, caused by village people using their brain to play two direct.

Tinubu is loyal to the French, nothing incriminating will be released.
One of the gains of being loyal to France is that they always cover up your dirty deeds and allow you to enjoy the highest luxuries Paris has to offer.
Trust me, they will want to keep Tinubu in power forever

It's not too late if it will stop him in 2027

Biden decided not to investigate further when it was an issue in 2023

But I doubt if Mr Trump will do the same
