Read below his detailed lamentations: In October 2022, Aaron Greenspan and I commenced an FOIA request process regarding Bola Tinubu's extensive criminal records with US law enforcement.
Over the next several months, we worked diligently and in silence as the case made its way through the FOIA rejection appeal and subsequent court process.
I had every opportunity to let the world know about the case and our work on it, but I have always understood that the one superpower I have as an independent investigative journalist is the ability to move in silence and carefully manage information. The extent to which nobody knows how much I know is the extent to which my work has power.
In May, someone decided to do a search of cases involving Tinubu's name on PACER, the public @uscourts database. They came across our lawsuit, which was still in its adolescence at the time, and decided to publish it. I checked Twitter one afternoon and lo and behold - the details of this lawsuit, which I had been quietly funding out of my personal PayPal account splashed all over Twitter in the name of journalism.
From that moment, Tinubu's people were effectively given advance notice to pull out all the legal, political and diplomatic tricks in their arsenal. This was the exact reason why I did not publicise the case when we started working on it, but PACER is a public database and the inability of other people to keep their mouths shut is not under my control.
After having initially stated unambiguously that it would comply with our FOIA clearly titled "Bola Ahmed Tinubu and K.O. Tinubu," after we filed the lawsuit, the FBI today has walked back on its position and now claims that it will only release documents not directly mentioning Bola Tinubu.
Of course it is impossible to prove what manner and extent of political interference and lobbying has taken place here, but what I do know is that we never had these problems until Nigerian journalists who were not involved in the case, and who made no effort to investigate Tinubu's background until they saw an opportunity for cheap gloryhunting, involved themselves and destroyed the one advantage we had - stealth.
My 1 year+ of hard work and financial commitment has just gone to waste because some people's need for loud headlines was more important than anything else.
Thank you and goodnight. Una try. |

The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) have declined request to make information about President Bola Tinubu public.
The two US agencies said Tinubu has “privacy rights that should be considered”.
Responding to a motion by Aaron Greenspan, an American who is seeking a reconsideration of an ealier ruling, the law enforcement agencies said the plaintiff is merely seeking to reargue his position on which the court has already ruled.
The agencies asked the court to deny the plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration.
“The Court properly characterized that motion as a motion for a temporary restraining order and determined that plaintiff did not satisfy his burden of showing that he would succeed on the merits as to FOIA exemptions and irreparable injury is likely, and the balance of equities favor him or granting the motion would further the public interest because Tinubu has privacy interests that should be considered,” the agencies said in their response to Greenspan’s motion.
The development comes after the US court for the district of Columbia rejected an emergency request by Greenspan on the release of the confidential information about Tinubu.
Greenspan, in the application had sought to compel the FBI, CIA, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and Internal Revenue Service (IRS), to hasten the release of Tinubu’s dossier.
Declining the request, Beryl Howell, the district judge, had said Greenspan did not meet the preconditions for granting a request of that nature.
The judge said the request “may be of a highly sensitive and private nature” and that “the subject of those documents, Bola A. Tinubu, has had no opportunity to protect his privacy interests in any such records”.
Greenspan had accused the law enforcement agencies of violating the freedom of information act by not releasing the confidential information within the stipulated time. https://www.thecable.ng/he-has-privacy-rights-fbi-cia-reject-request-for-tinubus-records/amp
