We Were Offered $3M Bribe To Drop Tinubu’s Probe – Dr. Von Batten by Racoon(op): 3:00pm On Sep 02
Alleged drug trafficking: We were offered $3m to drop Tinubu’s probe – US firm

Von Batten-Montague-York, L.C. Writes:

A few days ago, Dr. Von Batten received unsolicited offers of $3 million, along with an invitation to a confidential meeting in London, from a highly placed individual whom we have been informed is connected to Nigerian President Bola Tinubu (@officialABAT).

We believe these offers were an attempt to persuade Dr. Von Batten to end our campaign concerning President #Tinubu’s alleged heroin-trafficking records.

Dr. Von Batten refused the offers, immediately preserved copies of the exchanges, and contacted members of former Nigerian Vice President @atiku’s campaign to determine the nature of the individual’s relationship with President #Tinubu. Shortly after the refusals, a smear campaign against Dr. Von Batten began.

We will be providing the $3 million offer and related communications to the our friends at @TheJusticeDept and @FBI to protect our reputation and allow the appropriate authorities to review the matter.

We have a simple message for President Bola #Tinubu, the @OfficialAPCNg, and their associates: Thank you for the offer, but no thanks.

The documents this time are moving through an American court that has already ruled twice against secrecy. Judge Howell has held that no cognizable privacy interest justified hiding the fact that Mr. Tinubu was the subject of criminal investigation. That finding is on the record forever. It cannot be un-ruled.

This is the best they have. A letter that predates the lawsuit by two decades, that says nothing about the 1993 civil forfeiture in which an American court took $460,000 from accounts linked to Mr. Tinubu as suspected proceeds of narcotics trafficking.

Same that says nothing about FBI Case No. 245-IP-71386, nothing about the Form 302 interviews of 1992 and 1993, nothing about why the FBI is right now pleading with a federal judge to explain its secrets behind closed doors, ex parte and in camera, because it says disclosure could endanger lives.

If there is nothing in the files, why is the President of Nigeria personally intervening in an American courtroom to keep them shut? Why did his lawyers join the Department of Justice in begging for extensions that Judge Howell refused?

Why does a man with an "all clear" spend a fortune on Chicago attorneys to argue that Nigerians' interest in their own President's past is mere "public curiosity"?
Innocent men demand their files. Guilty men fight them. The President's own counsel is reduced to explaining himself on television.

It's hard to disbelieve. The desperation from Tinubu's media guys since this saga began is not normal. They were so desperate that they had to go interview Reno Omokri! Even Jide Sanwo-olu had to be dispatched quickly to Washington DC to lobby the Lebanese Massad Boulos while Tinubu himself has embarked on an emergency vacation. What really could be in those files that is capable of causing "permanent irreparable damage"?

This is the consequences of desperately trying to cover corruption with more corruption. The Tinubu govt and its lackeys can only continue to deceive themselves.

You don't call drug running allegation a civil forfeiture case. Now, Nigeria is still being mortgage and bled by a gang of despicable people. But the country will surely be salvaged. Enough is enough.

I didn't ask if you knew him. Why is Sanwo-olu conveniently meeting with him around this period? Who exactly from the government is offering Von Batten Ikemefuna a bribe of 3 million dollars for him to soft pedal? Una carry this crooked mentality of "money can buy everything" reach that side abi?

That man you are calling "Lebanese" already has all their numbers (Sanwo, Tinubu, Atiku) on speed dial and whatsapp... it's like asking why is Sanwo meeting with the Nigerian Ambassador to the US!

Anyway, I'm glad you identified "Ikemefuna" by his real name grin ...... there will probably be redemption for you after the elections are over....keep it up. wink

Ikemefeuna Okeke is a liar and a con man.

He collected $1.2 million for lobbying, which is a highly professional role in America. Rather than doing his job, all he does is to smear the person he is lobbying against.

Lobbyists in the US are rarely seen and heard. They operate smoothly in the background and get results for their clients. Ikemefuna has resorted to social media bullying and campaign against Tinubu while hiding under his wife's surname (Von Batten) and tagging Trump, DOJ, JD Vance, CNN, Aljazeera on every post he makes about Tinubu on X. This is very strange. Even the court case he bandies online against Tinubu was filed three years ago by Aaron Greenspan.

Atiku has been scammed badly.

Tinubu is just playing you people. There's nothing in those files.
That was how you people went in search of his records at Chicago University and found nothing.

You're mad and stupid if you cannot make available the name of the contact to the public. We are very much interested in the case and it seems because you're already loosing, you're trying to justify the money paid to you by Atiku for a case that is already dead.

The undeniable fact about Tinubu is that he seem to be struggling for legitimacy internationally. His friends are few and he continually relies on this Massad Boulos guy all the time, who himself, is closely linked to Gilbert Chargoury (GCON). Tinubu is neither Obasanjo nor Buhari as far as international reputation and respect go and this FBI saga is only aggravating it. Tell us, will he still be attending the UN General Assembly? Jimoh Ibrahim told us he would and would be sitting "very, very close to Trump". Ikemefuna Von Batten said that won't happen. We will see who's right between them.
Re: We Were Offered $3M Bribe To Drop Tinubu’s Probe – Dr. Von Batten by bigpicture001: 7:30pm On Sep 02
My own is it will amount to nothing...

After all the said and done, it still requires the naija justice system to finalize tinubu's stand..and that I know 100% they cannot do..

Tinubu is only worried amount his international image to other world leaders and not niaja politicians..

If exposed many EU countries will not approve of him entering their county again
