Records of a Nigerian President's Alleged Drug Connections Are Blocked by the US


In response to requests for information on Nigerian President Bola Tinubu's suspected connections to drug trafficking, the FBI, CIA, and DEA are under legal scrutiny as they invoke Glomar replies, which allow them to withhold confirmation of documents to preserve privacy and national security.

The agencies responded to several Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests from plaintiff Aaron Greenspan in a recent court filing, arguing that verifying or denying the existence of information could jeopardize national security and privacy concerns. The case brings to light persistent conflicts between protecting sensitive data maintained by federal agencies and maintaining transparency.

Citing national security concerns once more, the CIA, FBI, and DEA collectively issued a statement blocking the release of unredacted papers on Tinubu's history. The complaint claims that revealing these facts could jeopardize American interests overseas.

According to court records from a Chicago case, Tinubu was connected to to bank accounts purportedly utilized to launder funds for a Chicago heroin ring. In order to avoid a trial on drug trafficking and money laundering allegations, Tinubu, who was then a well-known personality in Lagos, agreed to forfeit assets to U.S. authorities in a plea deal, according to records from 1993.

The CIA, FBI, and DEA recently filed a letter against the release of Tinubu's data, according to a tweet on X (previously Twitter) by Nigerian journalist David Hundeyin, a strong supporter of transparency on the subject. Intelligence officials cited Tinubu's potential status as a CIA asset in their argument that disclosing such ties could "compromise U.S. national security."

The DEA repeated the CIA's position amid public calls for transparency, arguing that civilians do not have the right to unfettered access to intelligence files. "They don't have a right to know what their president is up to, so we oppose the full, unredacted release of the DEA's Bola Tinubu heroin trafficking investigation records," the DEA said.

With the CIA highlighting the possible repercussions of either admitting or denying any ties to Tinubu, the agency' stance is based on national security threats.

Hundeyin claimed that the U.S. intelligence community was contributing to the escalation of regional instability by supporting "terrible leaders" in Africa.

After an inquiry linked Tinubu to suspected drug trafficking in Chicago, the private citizen forfeited $460,000 to U.S. authorities 31 years ago.

On social media, Tinubu's special assistant, Dada Olusegun, refuted the allegations of CIA connections as 
"tragic" and unfounded, claiming the president is innocent.
