Wole Afolabi, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria and legal representative for President Bola Tinubu in the United States, spoke on the country's Sunday Politics show regarding the ongoing legal dispute over the release of certain records held by the US Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Drug Enforcement Administration. The lawsuit, filed by Aaron Greenspan, seeks access to documents related to Tinubu and prior investigations.
Afolabi stated that if there was sufficient evidence linking Tinubu to drug trafficking, the US government would have indicted, arrested, and prosecuted him. He argued that the US government had already released thousands of records but sought to keep certain portions redacted, claiming that disclosure could jeopardize law enforcement methods, sources, and agents.
Afolabi emphasized that his legal team's challenge to the redacted portions' release was based on rights available under US law and not an attempt to conceal incriminating information.
