FBI, DEA request for 90-day extension to publish Tinubu drug records

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) have requested a 90-day extension for President Tinubu’s drug investigation. Reports say the request was submitted on Thursday in a joint report filed with the US district court in Colombia district.

The alleged drug case which dates back to 1990 emerged from a series of requests from a legal transparency advocate. Aaron Greenspan, the plaintiff, is seeking the release of documents linked to a Chicago drug syndicate.

Greenspan named Tinubu, Edward, Akande and Agbele for the release of their records concerning the alleged drug case. Also, the court had earlier instructed the agencies to provide an update on the documents by today.

However, in a recent filing, the FBI and DEA disclosed that they needed more time to complete their searches. In their report, the agencies disclosed that they have started their search for responsive documents which will take ninety days to complete.

Greenspan, on the other hand, countered the delay, claiming that the agencies had already delayed the process for years. He continued by proposing a shorter deadline, noting that the defendants did not explain why it would take 90 days.

The plaintiff argued that the agencies should provide unedited versions of the documents they had already identified by next week. Greenspan asks the court to set a May 31 deadline and requests $440.22 reimbursement for filing and document preparation costs.

Previously, the agencies had issued “Glomar” responses, refusing to confirm or deny the existence of the requested documents. However, the court presided by Judge Beryl Howell ruled that such responses were inappropriate in this case.

According to report Greenspan has filed 12 requests between 2022 and 2023, requesting information about the drug syndicate.
