BREAKING: US court confirms CIA’s position on Bola Tinubu’s past records
Share this
The controversy revolves around demands for full disclosure from the CIA, FBI, and Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) regarding records linked to Tinubu.
According to Sahara Reporters, this situation emerged following a motion by Nigerian journalist David Hundeyin, who has been at the forefront of efforts to obtain unredacted documents on Tinubu.
In a social media update, Hundeyin revealed that the CIA, FBI, and DEA had jointly submitted a memorandum on Monday, opposing the release of sensitive information about Tinubu. Hundeyin also noted that the CIA’s filing includes language implying that Nigeria’s current president may be an “active CIA asset.”
The intelligence agencies’ argument is based on national security concerns. The CIA memorandum highlighted the potential dangers of confirming or denying Tinubu’s involvement with the agency.
“Human sources can only be expected to provide information to the CIA if they trust the agency to protect their cooperation from public exposure,” stated a portion of the document.
It further warned that revealing Tinubu’s possible ties could pose a threat to both him and his associates, cautioning that “official confirmation of such cooperation could lead to retaliatory actions.”
Additionally, the DEA argued that while Nigerians deserve transparency from their government, they are not entitled to unrestricted access to their president’s personal history.
“We oppose fully unredacted disclosure of the DEA’s records on Bola Tinubu’s heroin trafficking investigation because… they do not have a right to know everything about their president,” the agency said.
The agencies’ defense underscores a focus on protecting U.S. interests and alliances, though it has drawn criticism.
Hundeyin voiced frustration over the U.S.’s involvement in African governance, accusing American intelligence agencies of propping up “terrible leaders” and fostering regional instability.
This case underscores the tension between international transparency, national security, and public accountability, particularly when sensitive intelligence operations intersect with public scrutiny.
