FBI Rejects Request To Release Documents On Tinubu
The United States’ Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has said it will not be making public any documents or information relating to President Bola Tinubu.
The FBI stated its position on the issue in a response filed in a suit filed before the United States District Court of the District of Columbia by one Aaron Greenspan, who is seeking to compel US security agencies, including the FBI to release some purported documents and information about Tinubu and “Mueez Adegboyega Akande (deceased as of 11/16/2022).”
In a court document, titled: “Defendants’ response to plaintiff’s for reconsideration,” it was stated: “None of the parties have conceded any FOIA exemptions.
“As to the actions that certain defendants agreed to take by the end of October, the FBI stated that it will not release records relating to the two FOIA requests that sought records involving other individuals, not Tinubu.
“As to the Tinubu requests, the FBI asserted Exemptions (b)(6) and (b)(7)(C) Glomar response and neither confirmed nor denied the existence of records sought in those requests.”
