Fani-Kayode Demands Evidence on Tinubu's Drug Allegations
Femi Fani-Kayode, the Nigerian High Commissioner to South Africa, has publicly challenged the United States-based political advisory firm Von Batten-Montague-York to present evidence regarding allegations of drug trafficking linked to President Bola Tinubu. This challenge was issued in a statement on his verified X handle.
Fani-Kayode referenced a civil forfeiture complaint filed by the US Department of Justice on 26 July 1993 in the Northern District of Illinois, clarifying that the allegation pertains to property and does not indicate that President Tinubu personally smuggled heroin. He emphasized that being investigated for drug trafficking without resulting in an arrest, indictment, prosecution, or conviction does not equate to actual involvement in drug trafficking.
Fani-Kayode demanded clarity on who made the allegations and the evidence supporting them, reiterating that investigations do not constitute proof of involvement.
