US-based firm Von Batten-Montague-York has accused Nigeria's President Bola Tinubu of spending significant sums of money to prevent the release of records related to his alleged drug trafficking case. The allegations were made in a recent post on the firm's verified X account. According to the firm, Tinubu's legal team's actions in the ongoing Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) case contradict his claim of not attempting to block the release of the records.
The allegations include Tinubu petitioning the court, consulting the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to prevent the release of the records. The firm emphasized that while Tinubu maintains his innocence, the spending of millions of dollars is an attempt to keep the records sealed. The case involves sensitive investigative material, necessitating the involvement of US law-enforcement agencies.
The allegations come amid an ongoing legal battle over the release of records from the US Department of Justice, FBI, and DEA concerning historical investigations involving Tinubu.
