Omokri Defends Tinubu Against FBI Criminal Record Claims
Reno Omokri, the Ambassador-designate to Mexico, asserted during a Channels Television interview that President Bola Tinubu does not have a criminal record with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). He explained that the FBI holds standard records about Tinubu, such as his DNA, blood group, and fingerprints, which are common for anyone who has undergone a background check or applied to the U.S.
Embassy. Omokri emphasized that claims of criminal records are politically motivated, aimed at misleading Nigerians.
He clarified that neither the FBI nor the U.S. government has stated that Tinubu possesses a criminal record. Omokri also mentioned that Tinubu is reluctant to release his FBI records due to concerns that sensitive information could be misused if it fell into the wrong hands.
He stated, “President Tinubu has no criminal record... when you go to the US embassy and you take your biometrics it goes directly to FBI.”.
