US Firm Sues Tinubu and Fani-Kayode for $57 Million
Von Batten-Montague-York, a United States-based advocacy firm, has initiated a $57 million lawsuit against Nigerian President Bola Tinubu, the Federal Government of Nigeria, former Aviation Minister Femi Fani-Kayode, and DCI Group. The lawsuit, filed on September 28, 2026, in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, alleges defamation and a conspiracy to kidnap and physically harm Dr. Von Batten, the firm's founder.
The lawsuit seeks $36 million jointly from President Tinubu and the Federal Government, $3 million from Femi Fani-Kayode individually, and $18 million from DCI Group. The firm indicated that the lawsuit was kept confidential while serving the foreign parties in compliance with the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act.
The claims against President Tinubu and the Federal Government may encounter legal challenges due to this act, but the firm is committed to pursuing the case, which involves allegations of conspiracy related to advocacy concerning records from the FBI and DEA regarding President Tinubu and heroin trafficking allegations.
