A US-based political advisory and lobbying firm, Von Batten-Montague-York, reported to the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) an alleged $3 million bribe offer aimed at halting a probe into alleged drug trafficking linked to Nigeria’s President, Bola Tinubu. The firm made this disclosure on its verified X account on Thursday.
Dr. Von Batten, the leader of the firm, declined the offer and kept records of the communications. The firm explained that due to the substantial amount of money discussed, the proposal for a confidential meeting in London, and the request for communication through disappearing messages, they decided to preserve evidence and inform the US authorities. They will now await DOJ's decision on whether the communications merit further review.
