This comes after U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell in Washington, D.C., ordered the two agencies to release non-exempt files related to past investigations involving Tinubu.

Responding on Sunday, Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, stated that the reports in question have been in the public domain for over three decades and do not implicate the president.

“Journalists have sought the Presidency’s reaction to the ruling last Tuesday by a Washington DC judge ordering the US FBI and DEA to release reports connected with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” Onanuga wrote on social media. “Our response is as follows: there is nothing new to be revealed. The report by Agent Moss of the FBI and the DEA report have been in the public space for more than 30 years. The reports did not indict the Nigerian leader.”

He added that the Presidency’s legal team is currently reviewing the court’s decision.

The ruling follows a lawsuit filed by Aaron Greenspan, founder of the legal transparency platform PlainSite, who challenged the agencies’ refusal to confirm or deny the existence of such records.
