Nigeria News Nalin The report said the president called naughty and politically mechanized nonsense, the report said that the U.S. District Court ordered confidential information about Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, which was linked to the so-called federal investigation in the 1990s and was made public.
The order was issued by a judge on Tuesday Beryl Howellrequiring the highest U.S. law enforcement agencies to release documents related to their investigation into Tinubu.
this Decide for litigation U.S. citizen Aaron Greenspan filed in June 2023 under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Greenspan has sued several U.S. agencies, including the FBI, the CIA, the IRS, the DEA and the U.S. State Department, accusing them of failing to release documents regarding Tinubu’s alleged involvement in drug trafficking in the 1990s.
According to Premium Times, Greenspan’s lawsuit stems from his FOIA request from 2022 to 2023, where they seek information about joint investigations conducted by the FBI, IRS, IRS, DEA and U.S. attorneys in Northern Indiana and Northern Illinois. He specifically requested criminal records related to four persons allegedly involved in heroin trafficking rings, including Bola Tinubu, Abiodun Agbele, Lee Andrew Edwards and Mueez Abegboyega Akande.
In response, the agencies issued a “Glomar” response, refusing to confirm or deny the existence of the requested file. Greenspan challenged the responses, claiming that the information was public and should not be detained under Foia waivers.
Judge Howell’s ruling was partially favored by Greenspan, noting that the “Glomar” response from the FBI and the DEA was inappropriate. The judge noted that the requirement to protect the information from public disclosure was “neither logical nor reasonable” given that the two agencies had admitted that the investigation into Tinubu had admitted.
