Nigeria’s mineral deal with America won’t save Tinubu from FBI probe – US firm

A United States advocacy firm, Von Batten-Montague-York, has stated that Nigeria's mineral deal with America will not protect President Bola Tinubu from an ongoing FBI probe into alleged drug trafficking records. The assertion was made on Wednesday via a post on the firm's verified X account. Nigeria and the United States reportedly signed a framework agreement in New York on September 24 to strengthen collaboration and investment in Nigeria's mining industry.

The advocacy group opined that the deal did not offer anything in return for the mines, and suggested that if the Nigerian Presidency viewed the mines as a means to secure a meeting with President Donald Trump or to cover up Tinubu's alleged drug trafficking records, someone within Tinubu's team misled him to a dead end.
