U.S. Court Filing Shows Tinubu Sought Role in Records-Disclosure Case
A U.S. federal court filing dated October 23, 2023 shows that President Bola Tinubu asked to intervene in a records-disclosure case involving his confidential tax records and federal law-enforcement documents. In the motion, Tinubu argued that the requested materials were protected by tax-confidentiality rules, privacy laws and Freedom of Information Act exemptions. He also said the federal agencies involved might not fully represent his privacy interests. The filing sought time for Tinubu to consult with the relevant agencies over records proposed for release. The claims linking the case to alleged drug-trafficking records remain disputed and should be assessed against the full court record.
