Bola Tinubu has asked a U.S. court to enforce its earlier ruling that allowed the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to withhold certain documents deemed personal to him.
In a motion filed on September 4, 2025, before the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, Mr. Tinubu, represented by lead counsel Wole Afolabi and other attorneys, argued that ongoing Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests by American activist Aaron Greenspan were aimed at exposing private details rather than examining government conduct.

The motion urged the court to uphold exemptions under the U.S. Privacy Act and FOIA Exemption 7(C), which protects law enforcement records from disclosure when such release would amount to an unwarranted invasion of privacy.

Mr. Tinubu’s lawyers said Mr. Greenspan’s FOIA requests — which sought the “entire FBI file” on the Nigerian leader as well as DEA records — did not align with the FOIA’s purpose of illuminating government activities, but were instead meant to fuel political disputes in Nigeria.

“In conferring prior to filing this motion, Plaintiff asserted that the Court already resolved the issue of whether exempt records must be produced – despite not having heard from Intervenor,” Mr. Tinubu’s attorneys stated. “The Court appears to have chosen this language because the agencies can still assert exemptions to the production of records.”

In response, Mr. Greenspan urged the court to dismiss the plea, insisting Mr. Tinubu was using his office to go after opposition figures and critics of his administration.

Mr. Tinubu’s legal team countered that his right to privacy remains intact even as a public figure, citing U.S. precedents which affirm that government officials do not forfeit all personal privacy rights by virtue of their position.

They further argued that Mr. Greenspan’s quest for decades-old files from the early 1990s lacked genuine public interest and only served the activist’s website, PlainSite.org, which thrives on publishing documents to attract traffic.

“The Nigerian public’s interest in an individual is not a basis for a FOIA request,” the filing added, stressing that Mr. Tinubu was not a public official at the time of the alleged events.

The court has not yet ruled on the motion.

"Showing Mercy to The Guilty is Cruelty to The Innocent "

These Nigerian Officials Are Potentially & Dangerously Corrupt Yet they Are Stampeding on Petty Ones who Learnt From Their Corrupt Legacies Here in Nigeria Acting innocent Through Judiciary interference.

A bigger criminal trying desperately in futility to conceal his outblown dirty life. This is a monumental shame, disgrace and international embarrassment for a nation.

This is The Man who Recently Claimed that Nigeria is Regaining Respect On The Global Stage…Under His Watch..

Yet, He is Single Handedly Tarnishing Nigeria’s image With His Disgraceful Record & Conduct Abroad…

TINUBU IS LIKE AN EX PORN START, NOW CLAIMING TO BE A GOOD MARRIAGE COUNSELLOR.

Waiting For Omoyele Sowore ,Reno Omokri & Deji Adeyanju to Respond, Maybe Peter Obi Caused lt

That was how they all rushed to Chicago State University and were DISGRACED.😁😁😁😁😁

Shey na United States of America go dey hide anything pertaining criminal case on top Tinubu?!

Tinubu no get criminal case but just like he went to court to safe guard his privacy with his Chicago University certificate that is exactly what he is doing.

ALWAYS DISGRACING HIS ENEMIES!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Well, when you’re truly blessed, president of a country, so wealthy that you can afford anything on Earth......how else do you cure boredom except by constantly sending Obedients on a wild goose chase? 🥱 ...And laugh kikikiki😂 when you see them all going wild😜

SOWORE you caused this one 😂😂😂😂😂


It appears SOWORE is closing in on earthing the case file and considering his recent boldness of addressing them as a criminal and refusing to retract his post on X, hence the reason why they’re running scared to protect the file with the FBI because as the saying goes ……….No smoke without fire 🔥 😂😇😂😂😂

Watch as Apc paid porn stars that love defending the atrocities committed by their masters will look for a way to mention Peter Obi in this

One two ready go

Parallel fact is an obidient propaganda machine.

'They wicked flee even when no one is pursuing them'!
In the words of othman Danfodio 'conscience is an open wound,only truth can heal it'.
All Nigerians are asking for is the truth!Nigerians like the rest of the developed world,wants to know the character of who is presiding over its affairs as a nation....that is not too much to ask for.

There is no case file, this is another fake news. How often will this come up and nothing will come out of it, ah ah?

Na Trump dey this time no be Biden oooo

Parallellfacts? Mtschewww...

Leave these kids to keep chewing on gravel!
The other time it was they were going to expose all the files and that guy that wanted to cash off the gullibility fed them false hope until they realise it was just hooey!

The vigor with which Tinubu has tied down this case is baffling. If everything is as he stated, that he was not found guilty, why not allow the information be out there to show your Innocence once and for all?

Data boy

This is truly an act of cruelty. What exactly is Tinubu trying to hide? I wasn’t surprised the record saga resurfaced, especially after Tinubu told people to leave President Trump alone while he boasted about supposedly meeting revenue generation targets for the year.

Aaron Greenspan?
More like Morrrron Greenspan!

Tinubu is a CRIMINAL. Everybody knows this.
But the idea that an AMERICAN has the right to hassle him for his criminality is RIDICULOUS!

Tinubu is a CRIMINAL. But we can rest assured that he's NOT a SERIAL PEDOPHILE or a SERIAL RAPIST.

Meanwhile Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the US House of Reps, publicly DECLARED that Pedophile Donald Trump RAPED children on Epstein's Island as part of an FBI "sting".

America DEPLOYED thousands of FBI agents to pore through Epstein Files in order to EXPUNGE every record mentioning the PEDOPHILE they put in the White House.

One of the LARGEST Republican Donors have been shown to be a REGULAR patron of Epstein's Island, aka PEDOPHILE.

In addition to ALL of these, the PEDOPHILE in the White House has 34 FELONIES including INSURRECTION against the Government of the United States.

Yet this "activist" ignored all of that and crossed OCEANS to act as the "watchdog" of Nigeria.

He needs to remove the CHILD-RAPING log in his own eyes before he concerns himself with the DRUG-DEALING speck in the eyes of Nigerians.

To imagine that the president of the once mighty Nigeria has documented records with the FBI and DEA in America that "must not" be made known to Nigerians. It's such a shame!
