The United States authorities have said that they won’t release president Bola Tinubu’s criminal and immigration records in their possession until 2026.
NN News Media had reported that Aaron Greenspan initiated a Federal Civil Lawsuit against the United States Government over refusal to release the criminal file of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The Defendants in the suit include the United States Department of State, the United States Attorney General, the Executive Office for United States Attorneys, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Department of the Treasury, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
The suit, filed at the District Of Columbia District Court with case no. 1:23-cv-01816-BAH, has District Judge Beryl A. Howell, as the presiding judge. Summons to all seven Defendants have been issued.
According to the freedom of information request, the U.S. authorities said even if they were to release the records, it would be at least until January 2026 before they could do so.
The filings came as Mr Tinubu maintained in court that he did not commit any crimes during his decades-long residency in the U.S. Mr Tinubu also asserted ownership of his identity, despite strong indications, he might have changed names and education records in the past.
Mr Tinubu’s real identity and education records contain omissions and contradictions that he has not explained to the public.
