The Allied People's Movement (APM) has demanded that US authorities release FBI reports concerning alleged drug trafficking ties involving President Bola Tinubu. In a statement on Sunday, APM's National Publicity Secretary, Yusuf Abubakar, urged the US to release portions of the investigation report that would not endanger witnesses, investigators, or investigative techniques.
Transparency activist Aaron Greenspan is pursuing a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit to access the FBI's full file on Tinubu, including interview records from 1992 to 1993. In response, the FBI stated that releasing certain documents could jeopardize individuals' safety. Tinubu has now requested the court to prevent the release of these records, accusing the presidency of attempting to cover up the issue and heightening suspicion of wrongdoing.
APM maintains that transparency is crucial for Nigeria's democratic growth and national integrity, citing a 1993 $460,000 forfeiture judgment against Tinubu, which disqualifies him from re-election. The group also emphasizes Nigeria's commitment to international drug and money laundering conventions.
