Presidency reacts to U.S. court order on Tinubu’s FBI, DEA files
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The Presidency has responded to a recent court ruling in the United States ordering the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to release certain records relating to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The response came on Sunday through President Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, who addressed the matter via his official X (formerly Twitter) handle.

According to Onanuga, the documents that the U.S. agencies have been asked to release are not new and have been available in the public domain for over 30 years. He dismissed claims that the records could contain fresh revelations or allegations against the Nigerian leader.

“There is nothing new to be revealed. The report by Agent Moss of the FBI and the DEA report have been in the public space for more than 30 years. The reports did not indict the Nigerian leader,” Onanuga wrote.

He also disclosed that President Tinubu’s legal team is currently examining the ruling handed down by the United States court in Washington, D.C.

The ruling, delivered last Tuesday, has generated significant public interest both locally and internationally. It followed a suit seeking access to law enforcement records allegedly linked to President Tinubu, dating back to the 1990s, when he lived in the United States.

Meanwhile, despite the court order directing the FBI and DEA to release records, the Presidency insists there is no cause for concern, reiterating that the ruling would not yield any new or incriminating information against the President.

As of the time of filing this report, the FBI and DEA are yet to make any formal statement on when the documents will be made public.
