Not indicted for trafficking sir. The proceeds of trafficking was paid into his account as per the story
Because he snitched and helped the CIA. He's a CIA asset.

They have poor reading comprehension skills.

Money was paid into his Compas, his company, and the US government to the money because it was drug money, but they left the rest of his money untouched and he was never charged with any crime or wrongdoing, meaning he was not even the target.
"Tinubu also said that apart from one other account in Fairfax, Virginia, he had no other money stashed in U.S. banks.Except that there were other accounts. Citibank has a worldwide banking division known as Citibank International where Tinubu stashed an additional $550,000. He also controlled an entity called Compass Finance and Investments Company Ltd., of which Akande and Agbele were directors. Still another nexus of money transfers was uncovered by federal investigators, with cash moving from First Heritage to Citibank to Citibank International, where it wound up in Tinubu’s personal accounts and in those belonging to Compass Finance and Investments. In a follow-up exchange with law enforcement officers, Tinubu changed his story. Just days after conceding that he’d sent and received money to and from Akande, he insisted that he had no financial or business dealings with Akande or Agbele."

Why do most yorubas, view of post against Tinubu or their land from the stand point of the Igbos or IPOB?
So no one else, apart from these people criticizes either Tinubu or the southwes?
Yorubas hatred for the Igbos, will pluck their eyes one day.
Why are you ipobs so obsessed with Tinubu? Is he your governor? Is he a public official? Is he responsible for the backwardness in your poor ipob villages?

Why?

Is he responsible for the atrocities below?

That is what you call money laundering brah! The two Chicago druglords,Adegboyega Mueez Akande and Abiodun Agbele, were directors in his company, Compass Finance and Investments.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/nigerian-pres-svengali-tied-to-heroin
His company is a finance company involved in trading other people's money on the money market , if his staff paid dirty money into the company account and the law recognises Compass Finance as an independent entity and Mr Tinubu an independent entity, then you can't prosecute Mr Tinubu for a crime he never committed, you can only forfeit what's linked to crime and let him keep the balance

The money came from other people, not Tinubu, that's why they left him alone and didn't take his money, he was not charged with a crim and the rubbish you posted said their wors no evidence of a crime on his part so why are you killing yourself over nothing?

Directors might be investors and share holder, take an example of how Arsenal football club was constituted biggest share holder and director is an American while lesser shareholders are Europeans, can you blame the Europeans for a crime the American committed?

The money linked to the drug dealers who had been caught was confiscated. The other monies was not traced to Tinubu's co-directors who were also the drug dealers that had been caught. I hope I don't need to explain what a company is too grin grin You can't seize all the money in a company's account because you found some dirty money mixed with unknown money. Tinubu then entered a plea bargain which is recognised under Chicago law https://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/ilcs4.asp?DocName=072000050HArt%2E+29B&ActID=1876&ChapterID=53&SeqStart=77800000&SeqEnd=78199609

Why?

Is he responsible for the atrocities below?


Why are you displaying your stupidity in the public square, it's not good for your public image.
Is my question about development? Why do you see only Igbos in any anti Tinubu post? Are there no yoruba people that have made comments against him?
If you talk about development, is it every part of Lagos state that is developed, even after Tinubu and his party has ruled Lagos state for the past 20yrs. With the exception of Ondo State, I have gone through the whole state of southwest, where in southwest, do you not see bad governance and poverty?
Try and change your public image and stop bringing shame to your parents and the good people of southwest.

Why? Is Tinubu collecting your allocation money?

Is Tinubu responsible for your lives and your poor villages?

What's the reason for the obsession?

You see, some of you, the yorubas are so vexed with anything Igbo for no just a reason, and this will hurt you big time. You may not realize now.
I have constantly said this, that the people of southwest are Tinubu's worst political enemy. He too may nnt realize it, till he ends up like MKO. Where are the children of MKO in the scheme of things in Yoruba land today.
Tinubu is a leader, and every leader, must be baptized with the baptism of criticisms and condemnation, whether he likes it or not.
What has the yorubas not said against Nnamdi Kanu(I'm not his fan nor his IPOB member), what did the Yorubas not say against GEJ, Obj, IBB. All because they are leaders in their own right.
The Igbos are not Tinubu's nor Yorubas problems, take your eyes of the Igbos, otherwise, the eagles will pluck it.
Others from other regions will critize you, your response will be against the entire Igbos why?
