AMINDA:
Because they believe it will compromise their agents who investigated the case and blow-up the details about informants who snitched on others and requested for protection, especially those who may have entered into a plea bargain. Now, tell us, why you think Tinubu is desperate in joining the FBI in court for the documents to not be released? He isn't guilty and has done no wrong, so why does he keep saying the release of the files will cause him permanent, irreparable damage? I'm waiting.

The same reason as FBI. There may be some information that may put others at risk. Since it’s a case that ended some 30 years ago without any charges, why release information that may jeopardize others and compromise FBI operations?

Now tell us, why did Atiku collect $500,000 bribe from Leno Adesanya of Sunrise limited before the award of the Mambilla contract?

Decent enough video, and a lot of knowledge packed in there.

But at the end, it does show that your man tinubu had links with drug dealers to the point that he was at least harboring some of their monies in HIS accounts, which does not look good, no matter how you see am

But knowing how many of the politicans most of you guys support have funny tales like these, it doesn't matter all the same. Many of you won't vote for the clean guys, you vote for the same old same old.

Am even amused with Aminda. He's just like you, bacing an Atiku that has the same old issues to answer.

While the csu issue did not affect bat politically, it showed various inconsistencies which require explanation and strengthens the case for more to be revealed.

What I find must amusing about people like you is that you keep defending what you are ignorant of. You rubbished those who went to seek information from csu, yet you are using the same information released from the csu to defend bat. So on what premise where you initially basing your defence on?

Same is going on now. Let the full records be released so your defence can be premised on facts.

We rubbish you because it was an unnecessary gamble. You all have been in this now for how many years without getting anything out of it? We told you Tinubu graduated from CSU with first class and at the end of the day, that fact was established.

The same thing is applicable to this case. Absolutely nothing will come out of it. If there is a problem, FBI would have filled a criminal charge since 1993.

Again, there was no plea bargain in this case. It was a civil forfeiture case against Tinubu’s accounts and all the funds in the accounts were forfeited. Tinubu then came back to prove the money belongs to him and his family members. FBI agreed with him and released the money back to him and only held on to the $460,000 that belongs to Akande.

Lol. So if his only concern is the safety of others, why did he say the release of the documents will cause him permanent, irreparable damage? What's the correlation, unless he is tacitly saying he is one of the informants (snitches) who had to forfeit cash to be let "free". Do not divert the thread yet. Atiku has begged anyone who has any evidence that can indict him to step forward. He is even willing to pay. He is not in court asking any judge not to sanction the release of any evidence. Tinubu is. Tinubu is also the one that has been dodging UNGA for three consecutive years under Donald Trump. Is it perhaps, because the Republican party under Trump will not honour any deal that was reached under a democrat party dispensation?

Tinubu is desperately giving the country away just to get a reprieve from America who probably have dirt on him. First, a potential US military base and now mining rights. What's next?

BigBabyJesus:
How U.S Federal Agents successfully Linked Bola Tinubu to drug Trafficking Ring in Chicago

Facts have emerged that the erstwhile Governor of Lagos state, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu may have been involved in a white heroin trafficking network which operated in Chicago and some parts of Indiana and led by one Adegboyega Mueez Akande between 1988 and 1993. The source of the white heroine was identified as one Mr. Lee Andrew Edwards who was incarcerated for attempting to murder a federal agent while the agent was executing a search warrant on him.

According to the Verified Complaint for forfeiture in case No. 93 C 4483 Obtained by SaharaReporters, which was filed on July 26, 1993 before the Hon. Judge Nordberg of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, the United States Government urged the Court to order the forfeiture of funds in accounts Nos. 263226700 held by First Heritage Bank in the name of Bola Tinubu, funds in accounts 39483134, 39483396, 4650279566, 00400220, 39936404 and 39936383 held by Citibank N.A in the name of Bola Tinubu and funds in accounts 52050-89451952,52050-89451952, 52050-89451953 held by Citibank in the name of Bola Tinubu because there was probable cause to believe that the funds in Tinubu’s bank accounts represented proceeds of narcotics trafficking or were monies involved in financial transactions in violations of 18 U.S.C, sections 1956 and 1957 and therefore, was forfeitable to the U.S Government.

However, in a tacit defense of the ownership of the funds, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu averred in Court that the funds belonged to himself, his wife, K.O Tinubu and his surrogate mother, Alhaja Mogaji and warranted that they had exclusive right, title and interest to the funds.

In an affidavit sworn to by Kevin Moss, a Special Agent with the United States Internal Revenue Service, criminal investigation division in support of the verified complaint for forfeiture of Bola Tinubu’s moneys held in various Bank accounts, the agent gave a vivid account of how he came to the conclusion that the funds were proceeds of narcotics transaction in violation of the U.S law.

Mr. Moss averred that prior to and during 1988; the government became involved in the investigation of a white heroin trafficking network operating in Chicago, Illinois and Hammond, Indiana. The investigation disclosed that an individual known as Lee Andrew Edwards was a source of white heroin. The government sources provided information about Lee Andrew Edwards including the identity of a telephone number which activated in electronic pager. This pager according to him was to be called to place an order for white heroin. According to Mr. Moss, this pager was subscribed to by one Adegboyega Mueez Akande who at that time was a resident of Chicago.

Mr. Moss further averred that during February 1988, an individual named Abiodun Agbele arrived in the U.S from Nigeria and during investigation by the government, Agbele disclosed that Akande was his uncle who provided him an apartment in Hammond, Indiana.

According to Agbele, Mr. Akande returned to Nigeria in1990; however, before he left, he instructed Agbale to serve as a source of white heroin for Mr. Lee Andrew Edwards as a result of which Agbele sold white heroin for Lee Andrew Edwards on numerous occasions. Following a tip off, Agbele sold one ounce of white heroin to a law enforcement agent undercover on November 28, 1990 for $7,000 and was subsequently arrested. After his arrest, Agbele agreed to cooperate with the law enforcement agents regarding the white heroin distribution and network of Akande.

According to Agbele, Akande controlled the operation of white heroin from Nigeria in conjunction with other individuals in Nigeria and the U.S. One other individual who worked with Akande according to the affidavit was identified as Bola Tinubu who later became the governor of Lagos state from 1999 to 2007.

The investigation also revealed that in December 1989, Akande took Bola Tinubu to First Heritage bank where Bola Tinubu opened an individual money market. In the account opening application, Tinubu, gave his address as 7504 South Stewart, Chicago, the same address used previously by Akande and his company, Globe-Link. This is the same address used as the drop-off point for packages from Nigeria that contained the white heroin. According to bank records, Bola Tinubu also opened a joint checking account in his name and the name of his wife, Oluremi Tinubu. Mrs. Tinubu had previously opened a joint Bank account also in the same bank with Abdrey Akande, the wife of the heroin kingpin, Adegboyega Mueez Akande.

Upon opening the account, Tinubu deposited the sum of $1,000 in traveler’s check. However, five days after opening the account, specifically, on January 4, 1990, Tinubu deposited the sum of $80,000 into the account.

According to the federal agent, in a credit application dated January 6, 1990, Bola Tinubu disclosed that he resided at 7504 South Stewart and that Mueez A. Akande was his cousin. Tinubu further stated that he was an employee of Mobil Oil Nigeria Limited, Fairfax, Virginia and his take home pay was $2,400 per month. Additionally, Tinubu stated on the application that he had no other sources of income and listed his wife, Oluremi Tinubu as co-applicant for the application for automobile loan. The loan was secured with the certificate of deposit in the amount of $10,000 which Tinubu had purchased with a withdrawal from the $80,000 deposit in his checking account.

According to the federal agent, Bank records from First heritage Bank disclosed that in 1990 alone, Bola Tinubu deposited $661,000 into his individual money market account and in 1993; he deposited the sum of $1,216,500 into the same money market account. The agent further avers that in 1991, Tinubu began opening accounts at Citibank in the section known as the world-wide personal banking unit where he transferred the sum of $560,000 from his money market account at the First Heritage Bank.

This development prompted the Federal agents to interview representatives from Mobil Oil regarding Tinubu’s employment status and his take-home pay. The Mobil Oil representatives confirmed to the investigators that Tinubu was employed by the Mobil Oil as a treasurer. Mobil Oil further told the federal agents that this position did not involve the transfer of large amounts of money between banking institutions. Mobil oil representatives also stated that under no circumstance would Tinubu be permitted to retain money belonging to Mobil Oil in accounts bearing Tinubu’s name. Finally, Mobil Oil confirmed that the corporation never had any accounts in banks in the southern suburbs of Chicago.

On January 10, 1992, the federal agents obtained a court Order freezing Tinubu’s accounts at First Heritage Bank and Citibank respectively. Thereafter, Tinubu contacted the First Heritage Bank to transfer money from his accounts and was advised that the accounts had been seized by the U.S Treasury.

On January 13, 1992, Mr. Moss, the Federal agent contacted Bola Tinubu in Nigeria by phone using a number provided to the First Heritage Bank by Tinubu himself. Mr. Moss averred that during the course of the interview, Bola Tinubu confirmed that he knew Mueez Adegboyega Akande. Tinubu further admitted during the interview with the federal agent that he had wire transferred $100,000 to Akande’s bank account in Houston and that the $80,000.00 of the funds used to open the account at First Heritage Bank had come from Akande. Tinubu further admitted that he had other accounts in Fairfax, Virginia and London.

Concluding his affidavit evidence, Mr. Moss stated that with all these evidence, there was probable cause to believe that the funds in the accounts held by First Heritage Bank and Citibank, N.A in the name of Bola Tinubu represented property that was involved in narcotics transaction in violation of the U.S law. He therefore, urged the Court to issue an order of forfeiture of the funds.

After a protracted litigation in which Bola Tinubu claimed that the monies legitimately belonged to him, his wife, Oluremi Tinubu and his surrogate mother, one Alhaja Mogaji, Bola Tinubu finally opted for a stipulated settlement with the U.S government. According to the settlement Order dated September 15, 1993; Hon. Judge John A Nordberg ordered that the sum of $460,000 held by Bola Tinubu in The First Heritage Bank account be forfeited to the United States Government. The Court also ordered the release of the funds held in the Citibank account and any money held in excess of $460,000 at the First Heritage account to Bola Tinubu in line with the agreement and stipulation reached by Tinubu with the federal agents.

Ironically, this case came up at the peak of the struggle against the annulment of the June 12, 1993 presidential election by the Gen. Babagida-led military junta during which time Tinubu as a member and one of the leading financiers of the National democratic Coalition (NADECO) made several “pro-democracy” trips to the U.S ostensibly to press for U.S sanctions against the Nigerian junta. It is therefore doubtful whether most of those trips were actually connected with the June 12, struggle after all.

The US seized all the funds in a forfeiture case and after proper investigation, they released over $1million that belongs to Bola Tinubu, Kola Tinubu and Abibatu Mogaji while $460,000 that belongs to Akande was forfeited. The US even asked the Tinubu family to agree with the dismissal of the case with prejudice so that no future case can be filed against the US government.

Make he enter US fess

We want to check something

He should go so we can have the final say on the matter. So is this the same record he is filing for that should not be released?

This girl has released it na... LOL

Once you see the op, expect TAKES BY IRAGBIJI MOONLIGHT 🌙

So Tinubu was Chase bank, Bank of America and WellFargo. Defending a criminal is not easy.

Watch the video and get your answers. Akande is a member of the Tinubu family. Tinubu apart from working with Mobil at the time also had an investment company. He was the American educated star of the family and it's only reasonable for family members who believe in him to invest in his investment ideas.

Akande is his uncle. He's the one running the narcotics ring. He and some other family members placed money for investment in Tinubu's several accounts. All the accounts had about $1,460,000. The US government seized everything initially but Tinubu was able to prove to investigators that $1,000,000 of the money belongs to him and other family members who had no link to drugs trafficking while the $460,000 that belongs to Akande was forfeited. How's that so difficult to understand?

oga no drug baron will entrust his proceeds to a neutral person be it nephew, or family member unless you are in the same drug cartel. you are even complicating issues for Tinubu by exposing his family are into drug dealings, are you now telling me that Tinubu was oblivious to his uncle's narcotics business that he used his account for proceeds? It means that he's an accomplice

as at that time how did he own $1m, nawa o

This case is beyond your cheap academic manipulative exercise. Data boiz indeed

In law, if you are indirectly an accomplice of a criminal offence or a beneficiary from the proceeds of criminality you are already culpable and deserves the full wrath of the law. Tinubu romanced with drug peddlers and benefitted from their money. What the US could not indict him was his direct smuggling of drugs like those who kept illegal funds with him. His dirty tracks didn't just start today, but years ago. That' why he's so evily smart.

Tinubu be a bagman

A bagman is a person who collects or distributes illicitly gained money, bribes, or payoff funds on behalf of a criminal, politician, or organization, in this case he be a bagman for heroin and narcotic traffickers

However he over time has metamorphosed in to a bullion van man.

A bullion van man is a man of untraceable origin, a symbol of immense, untraceable wealth and political patronage.

He was an accountant; friends keep money with me to this day because some of them lack financial discipline, and they will spend the money if it remains accessible to them, or they have a savings target if they want to execute a project in Nigeria.

It is not a big issue

Kukutente23:
This throws up more questions than answers
According to the filings in the court, Tinubu used Akande as a guarantor to open accounts with the Bank of America and another bank. What was the relationship between Tinubu and Akande that made him stand as guarantor for Tinubu?
Why was the money forfeited suspected to be proceeds of narcotics
More importantly, why is everybody keeping money with Tinubu?
