President Bola Tinubu has contested efforts to release his unredacted FBI and DEA records to the public. In filings to the US District Court for the District of Columbia, his lawyers argued that the US Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act precluded disclosure and found no public interest in the matter. Tinubu's lawyers were Christopher Carmichael, Victor Henderson, and Oluwole Afolabi.
The request was filed by American transparency activist Aaron Greenspan, who sought the information under the US Freedom of Information Act. The controversy was reignited ahead of the 2023 presidential election due to the release of documents related to a 1993 civil forfeiture proceeding involving Tinubu.
