Nigeria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Jimoh Ibrahim, has said President Bola Tinubu will not face arrest or restrictions on his movement in the United States if he attends the United Nations General Assembly, UNGA, in New York.


Ibrahim made the clarification following renewed discussions over allegations relating to Tinubu’s past in the United States and claims that he could face legal action during his planned participation in the 81st session of the UN General Assembly.

He said the Nigerian Mission to the UN had not received any communication from the United States government indicating that Tinubu would be subjected to restrictions during the General Assembly.


Ibrahim stated that the protections enjoyed by representatives of UN member states are provided for under Section 11 of the 1947 UN-US Headquarters Agreement.

According to him, the agreement protects representatives of member states and their families from impediments while travelling to and from the UN headquarters district.


“Where a conviction cannot be secured in a sensitive criminal matter, the consequences could include substantial compensation,” he said.

Ibrahim further dismissed claims on social media that Tinubu could be arrested during his visit to the United States.

“Social media cannot criminalise or arrest President Bola Tinubu, no matter how much the opposition invested in it, those efforts will only end as an exercise in futility. He has immunity from arrest in US during UNGA,” the ambassador said.


According to him, the provision also covers UN officials, officials of specialised agencies and persons invited to the headquarters district for official business.

Has Tinubu become Nigeria’s own Omar al-Bashir, with an arrest warrant waiting in the wings?

Tinubu has really, really brought so much shame and disgrace to this country. At this point, he is Nigeria’s chief demarketer

That was why on route to Brazil his plane touched down in LA maybe for gas.He didn't try stepping his foot on usa soil.He hide inside the aircraft..lol
If it is lie show picture of him anywhere on LA soil

The US casually strolled into another country and arrested their president. They can arrest Tinubu if they want to. But doing so will not be proper.

Dey play. Maduro was a sitting president untill he was captured in his country.

Presidency should just dare with a little caption

"Trump cannot arrest me for an allegation that's not true, because I'm a sitting president"---Tulumbu 2026

See someone I can pay his bills and generation calling me local because he earns 30k from data boy work

Make e attend first make we dey sure since Jimoh IBRAHIM is Trump.

The US justice system makes it easy to arrest anyone regardless of political position. The New York Mayor understand this fact well, that's why he attempted to use it against Israeli Pm just few weeks ago.

Trump and Republicans had to personally intervene.

Will Trump and Republicans intervene for a heroin trafficker? Let's wait and see

That e coconut druggie head go understand

Tell them to stop posting rubbish .when I called him out to show pictures of baron foot on LA soil.He disappeared and ran from the topic
