FBI announces plan to start releasing 2,500 documents on Bola Tinubu

FBI Withdraws Plans to Release Bola Tinubu’s Records, Citing Diplomatic Concerns.

 

In an unexpected turn of events, the U.S Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has decided to withhold the release of documents concerning Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s alleged criminal activities in the United States. This decision comes amid concerns that the disclosure of these records could strain diplomatic relations between Nigeria and the United States.

 

Earlier, the FBI, in conjunction with five other federal agencies, had agreed to release documents related to Tinubu’s alleged criminal activities during his time in the United States. These documents were expected to shed light on the controversial figure’s past.

However, the FBI’s change of heart appears to be linked to a recent Supreme Court ruling that confirmed Tinubu as the duly elected President of Nigeria. Sources within Washington DC have suggested that the Joe Biden administration may not be comfortable with the release of potentially incriminating documents, as it could jeopardize U.S. interests in Nigeria and the broader West African region.

 

The decision has raised questions about the nature of these documents and what they may reveal about Tinubu’s past. It also underscores the delicate balance between the pursuit of justice and maintaining international relations. For now, the FBI will only release documents that do not implicate Tinubu in any criminal activities in the U.S.
