In a court document viewed by journalists, the FBI and US State Department cited “unusual circumstances” as the reason for the delay in making the records public.
Demand for Tinubu’s Criminal Record
For instance, Tinubu claimed under oath in 1999, while seeking to be the Governor of Lagos State, that he attended the prestigious University of Chicago.
In his 1999 oath to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), he stated that he attended primary and secondary schools in Lagos and Ibadan in the 1950s and 1960s.
On the other hand, the FBI is expected to shed light on Tinubu’s involvement in drugs and any other criminal charges he might have faced, which are not in public records.
The FBI argued that the activist failed to demonstrate that the requested information was in the public interest and would contribute significantly to the understanding of government operations and activities.
