US court order on Tinubu’s records is nonsense – Bwala

Presidential spokesperson, Daniel Bwala, has rubbished the US court ruling that directed the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and other anti-drug agencies to release the records they have on President Bola Tinubu.

The ruling was delivered by Judge Beryl Howell of the US District Court for the District of Columbia, who said protecting the information from public disclosure is “neither logical nor plausible.”

He gave the order in response to a motion by one Aaron Greenspan who had accused the law enforcement agencies of violating the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

Greenspan’s enquiry may not be unconnected to the $460,000 Tinubu is said to have forfeited to the US government in 1993 after it was linked to narcotics trafficking.

Reacting, Bwala described the order as “mischievous and politically mechanised nonsense.”

He further stated, “They claim the order was given on Tuesday, but it never saw the light of the media until Sunday

“There is nothing these opposition under the auspices of coalition for a wild goose chase cannot try to do to keep relevance.”
