The United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois has released fresh documents holding Bola Tinubu’s encounter with American authorities over allegations of narcotics trafficking and money laundering. Swipe for some (not all) of the documents.
Mr Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress and former Lagos governor, has come under intense public ridicule and political onslaught for his role in an early 1990s drug trafficking case in Chicago.
Mr Tinubu has not commented on the narcotics affair, which has made headlines since at least the mid-aughts, preferring instead to discuss other parts of his background in corporate accounting, consultancy and pro-democracy activism. He, however, informed the electoral office INEC in his application to stand for the election that he had no prior criminal convictions.
Mr Tinubu’s allies have also made efforts to downplay the matter entirely as a trivial distraction to Nigeria’s democratic experience because it happened decades ago in a distant lang.
But Nigerians have insisted that the presidential candidate should come clean on his involvement in the case, which saw him forfeit up to $460,000 to the U.S. authorities in 1993.
The 56-page document released by the district court’s headquarters in Chicago did not include crucial new details, but it further confirmed snippets of the matter that had been shared spontaneously by the media for years. Journalist David Hundeyin also reignited interest in Mr Tinubu’s drug-dealing background following a July 13 article in West Africa Weekly.

County of Cook is the same as Cook County. It’s just like saying “this 21st day of November, 2022 in the year of our Lord”.

There’s a Cook County in the City of Illinois, Chicago. If you’ve lived there, and don’t know this, then that’s unfortunate. Also, you can just type “Cook County” on google, and you’ll find it there. Try it, it’s free.

Gogoman Please note Cook County is in Chicago illinois. Though, I'm not a fan of BAT but I still believe those documents are fake. No Dept of Justice in America would allow sy h a document to get into the hand of the public. Also why now that election campaign is going on then they'll deem it fit to publish such documents??? It's just a Smear campaign.

You’re wrong. There’s something called Freedom Of Information Act, which allows anyone to request for documents such as these.
