Tinubu’s alleged drug case takes new twist as US firm hints at video evidence

A United States-based political advisory and lobbying firm, Von Batten-Montague-York, has hinted at providing video evidence in the alleged drug trafficking case linked to Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu.

Von Batten-Montague-York disclosed this in a post on its verified X handle on Monday.

The firm expressed the belief that the video evidence would challenge President Tinubu’s attempt to invoke privacy protections over Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI, and Drug Enforcement Administration, DEA, records concerning his alleged drug-trafficking past.

“We are amending our Supplemental Notice of Evidentiary Exhibits to the US court to include the attached video transcript. The video is really extraordinary.

“At an All Progressives Congress, APC, political event, Mr Adewale Tinubu, President Tinubu’s reported nephew, said, ‘I did that case in Chicago. It was one of my first legal matters,’ and described personally urging Tinubu to settle.

“Yet the official court record identifies Patrick S. Coffey, Esq. as the attorney representing President Tinubu in that case. No court appearance, pleading, signature, or other filing identifies Mr Adewale Tinubu as counsel in the proceeding. Not a single record.

“Why does this matter? First, court records show that Mr Adewale Tinubu’s account is false. Second, the video shows, in real time, the falsification of established facts to deceive the Nigerian public. Facts President Tinubu now claims are private. Third, President Tinubu is asking the court to protect his alleged heroin-trafficking records from the public. Yet his own nephew publicly discussed the Chicago proceeding at a political campaign event while Tinubu was present.

“President Tinubu cannot have it both ways. US courts have long recognized that voluntary public disclosure can diminish the privacy interest that Exemption 7(C) protects. The FBI and DEA must come to the realization that President Tinubu is a liability and that his alleged drug-trafficking records are just another Epstein file.

“Whether under the current Republican administration or a future Democrat administration, those files will eventually be released to the public,” the firm tweeted.

Lol...

When you lie once, you would need more lies to cover up that one lie.

After a while, you lose track of the lies...

Over to batists that defend blindly...

Records show cofey as attorney representing bat, but adewale says he was the one...

According to the late great Abami Eda, "... confusion breakie bone, ye paa. Na double wahala for deadie body and the owner of deadie body..."

The more the attempts by Tinubu and his team to bury this matter the more it is unravelling more damning evidence. Sadly Nigeria continues to suffer the shame, disgrace and embarrassment

“At an APC political event, Mr Adewale Tinubu, President Tinubu’s reported nephew, said, ‘I did that case in Chicago. It was one of my first legal matters,’ and described personally urging Tinubu to settle.

“Yet the official court record identifies Patrick S. Coffey, Esq. as the attorney representing President Tinubu in that case. No court appearance, pleading, signature, or other filing identifies Mr Adewale Tinubu as counsel in the proceeding. Not a single record.

“Why does this matter?
-First, court records show that Mr Adewale Tinubu’s account is false.

-Second, the video shows, in real time, the falsification of established facts to deceive the Nigerian public. The same facts President Tinubu now claims are private.

-Third, President Tinubu is asking the court to protect his alleged heroin-trafficking records from the public. Yet his own nephew publicly discussed the Chicago proceeding at a political campaign event while Tinubu was present.

This is what happens when you have to tell so many incongruent lies just to cover a lie.

Agbada don hook for barb wire o!

Why are they telling us instead of just releasing the video ?

Is it not stupid that you have a detail that can incriminate your rival but instead of exposing his criminality, you come foolishly online to claim you have some prove and you have been doing this foolishly over 20 or more years.

Is that not madness
Who are you fooling and how many times can you fool your followers.

The last paragraph of this post that i copied nd pasted below simply shows that they re not after any release f the file but to damage Tinubus name as much as they can and as much as some people can cry blood over the noise..

Tinubu’s current travails in the hands of Von batten is something I would never wish my enemy.
This is too much for him to bear.

Lol. We will see what it translates to in the reality of Nigerian politics. You guys are so gullible thinking any of this affects Tinubu's chance of re-election in favour of your candidate.

You don't know how Nigerian politics work anyway and never will.

Von-batten abi Ikemefuna Okeke is simply the latest shyster to chop the dollars of money-miss-road and desperate Atiku.

If you are not straight, you are not straight. Tinubu is full of so many dark shades.

Ask yourself why the sudden journey to Europe for vacation, if it has no effects on his re-election

He who wears the shoes know where it's pinching him.

Even if so, then so what? Politicians worldwide do everything to gain/retain office.


My point remains that the antics of Atiku and Obi will not get them into Aso Rock.

They are two politicians who never built anything and anyone yet they believe they can just walk into Aso Rock.

Nigerian politics is not like that bro.

it will be a very foolish thought to think that Atiku just wanted to waste his money,if fact were not there, already the evidence has been coming out gradually,but you fail to see it, thinking you would deceive Nigerians, let's just keep our asses crossed, and watch how events regarding this issue unfolds .😊

The balled grey hair is been milked.

Read to understand.

Do not let blind defence of what you do not even know about make you look like a headless chicken...

So, what is bat afraid of?

Make dem give us his real name, age, etc

Daily Times seems to be the major newspaper helping to propagate this so-called US firm.

Out of curiosity, I decided to click the link and go and do what I hear members of NCAN usually do, and I found what they usually claim to find in such situations.

The video evidence is not something new relating to the case but a video of an event where the matter was discussed openly. So they want to argue that Tinubu cannot use privacy again in the court..

WHATEVER EVIDENCE THERE ARE FROM OUTSIDE NIGERIA ARE IRRELEVANT TO THE NIGERIAN SUPREME JUSTICE SYSTEM
