The Nigerian Presidency has stated that only the United States District Court for the District of Columbia can determine whether President Bola Tinubu's records will be released or withheld in the ongoing Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) case, not former Vice President Atiku Abubakar. The Presidency clarified that the case is a civil records-disclosure dispute, not a criminal case against President Tinubu, and the court has not found him guilty of any criminal wrongdoing. The statement emphasized that the release or withholding of records under FOIA does not establish criminal liability.
