The Presidency has explained that President Bola Tinubu's opposition to releasing unredacted records held by US law enforcement agencies is based on lawful exemptions under the US Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The statement clarified that the ongoing litigation in the US District Court for the District of Columbia is a civil dispute over access to government records, not a criminal case. The Presidency emphasized that neither the court nor any US agency has found Tinubu guilty of criminal wrongdoing. The dispute dates back to 2022 when Aaron Greenspan filed FOIA requests seeking records related to Tinubu.
