Four reasons US shouldn’t release my FBI records –Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu has asked a US court to reject a motion seeking the release of his FBI records. According to reports, Tinubu cited four reasons for this request, including concerns over his privacy and a lack of public interest in the records.

The FBI had submitted Tinubu's records to a US District Court for review under seal. The records relate to a 1993 drug-trafficking and money-laundering case involving Tinubu. The submission was made in response to a Freedom of Information Act request filed by transparency campaigner Aaron Greenspan in 2023.

Tinubu's request to block the release of the records was made through a court filing. The FBI had also argued that releasing the records could violate Tinubu's privacy rights, according to the Daily Post Nigeria.
