Tinubu Tied to 1990s U.S. Drug Cases, Says Journalist

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been connected to at least three separate drug-trafficking and money-laundering cases investigated by U.S. authorities in the 1990s. This information was disclosed by American journalist Aaron Greenspan during an interview with Laolu Akande, founder of Empowered Newswire.

Greenspan is currently engaged in a legal battle for access to historical records related to Tinubu and Nigerian businessman Abiodun Agbele, under the Freedom of Information Act. He identified three cases: a series of criminal indictments from 1992 involving individuals linked to the drug network, a separate indictment concerning Agbele, and a 1993 civil forfeiture case involving approximately $460,000 in an account under Tinubu's name.

Greenspan mentioned the possibility of a fourth sealed indictment against Tinubu but clarified that he has no evidence of its existence. The ongoing case, Greenspan v.

Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys, seeks to release these records from various U.S. agencies, including the FBI and DEA.
