Alleged Drug Trafficking: Why US Hasn’t Arrested Tinubu — President’s Lawyer
Tinubu’s lawyers argue that full disclosure could expose law-enforcement methods and privacy interests after U.S. agencies produced thousands of pages.
- United States-based lobbying firm Von Batten-Montague-York claims Nigeria's President Bola Tinubu will face embarrassment at the upcoming United Nations General Assembly, citing alleged heroin-trafficking connections that world leaders will know about.
- A sworn Federal Bureau of Investigation declaration submitted to federal court on Monday showed Tinubu was criminally investigated for heroin trafficking, contradicting prior claims he was never under investigation.
- Legal counsel Wole Afolabi, representing Tinubu's team, maintains that challenging redacted document releases protects privacy rights under law, while activist Aaron Greenspan pursues a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit for full FBI records.
- A requested meeting between Tinubu and United States President Donald Trump at the UNGA will not occur, the firm reported, after key administration members declined to meet privately with an alleged drug trafficker.
- Von Batten-Montague-York warned it may launch a campaign to inform New Yorkers within a six-mile radius of UN Headquarters about the trafficking allegations if authorized, potentially amplifying pressure during Tinubu's visit.
