President Bola Tinubu has filed a legal challenge in a US court to block the release of alleged drug trafficking records. These records are sought by American transparency activist Aaron Greenspan through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against multiple US government agencies. Greenspan is requesting the FBI's complete file on Tinubu, as well as FBI Form 302 interview records from 1992 to 1993.
The case also includes a record from a 1993 civil forfeiture proceeding involving approximately $460,000 linked to Tinubu. Tinubu denies any wrongdoing. His legal team argues that releasing the records could infringe on Tinubu's privacy, citing Supreme Court precedent and previous court decisions.
