Presidential Spokesman, Bayo Onanuga has reacted to a US court ruling ordering the release of redacted records of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
POLITICS NIGERIA earlier reported that a US federal high court, on Tuesday, ordered the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to release documents related to President Tinubu’s alleged ties to Drug Trafficking.
Judge Beryl Howell of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia issued the directive on Tuesday in response to a motion filed by American citizen Aaron Greenspan, who is challenging the withholding of information under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
In a ruling that could cause the public disclosure of previously withheld documents, Judge Howell stated that the agencies’ justification for secrecy was “neither logical nor plausible.”
Reacting to the Development on Sunday, Onanuga revealed that the ruling did not indict 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.”
“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. The lawyers are examining the ruling.”
