A federal court in the United States of America has ordered the release of files linked with President Bola Tinubu’s alleged drug investigation in 1990.
The order was given by Judge Beryl Howell on Tuesday, April 8, 2025, requesting the release of files connected to President Tinubu’s alleged drug case by the FBI and DEA.
An American citizen by the name of Aaron Greenspan had filed a lawsuit under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) accusing the U.S. security agencies—FBI, CIA, IRS, DEA, and State Department—of refusing to release the documents where information on Tinubu and three other Nigerians’ drug investigations was contained.

According to the report, the agencies initially gave “Glomar” responses, which implies their refusal to confirm or deny the existence of such information.
There were rumors that Tinubu had forfeited the sum of $430,000 to the U.S. government in 1993. Money that was alleged to be from drug trafficking proceeds.
During the 2023 presidential elections, there were reports, rumors, and allegations about Tinubu’s involvement in drugs, which led to his being called a “Drug Baron.”
Investigative journalist David Hundeyin had posted documents alleging it to be Tinubu’s drug probe in the U.S.
With the new order, the FBI and DEA are expected to release the required documents by May 2, 2025, except those in the custody of the CIA.
