Tinubu Challenges Court Request for FBI Case Documents

Bola Ahmed Tinubu has filed a request with the United States District Court for the District of Columbia to reject a motion by American transparency activist Aaron Greenspan. Greenspan seeks to introduce additional records in an ongoing lawsuit involving the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

His application, submitted on October 8, 2026, pertains to historical investigative records related to Tinubu and Nigerian businessman Abubakar Agbele from the 1990s. Tinubu's lawyers, in a filing dated October 15, 2026, oppose Greenspan's request, arguing that the additional materials do not establish a connection between the alleged hacking activities and the legal dispute.

They also criticize the timing of Greenspan's application, asserting that the 176 pages of materials were available earlier. Furthermore, Tinubu's legal team contends that news articles and allegations in court documents cannot be treated as proof of claims, emphasizing that indictments are merely allegations that may not have been proven.
