$3M Offer to Suppress Tinubu Drug Allegations Revealed
On September 3, 2023, Von Batten-Montague-York, L.C., a US-based lobbying firm, alleged that its founder, Dr. Karl Von Batten, was offered $3 million to abandon a campaign regarding President Bola Tinubu's alleged heroin-trafficking records. The firm claimed the offer came from an individual connected to Tinubu and included an invitation for a confidential meeting in London.
Following the rejection of the offer, Von Batten preserved communications related to the approach and contacted Atiku Abubakar's campaign to investigate the individual's ties to Tinubu. The firm stated that a smear campaign against Von Batten began shortly after he declined the offer.
Von Batten-Montague-York plans to submit the details of the alleged offer to the US Department of Justice and the FBI. In response, Sunday Dare, Special Adviser to President Tinubu, dismissed the allegations as political speculation and challenged the firm to provide evidence supporting its claims.
