The Nigerian Presidency has clarified that a legal case involving President Bola Tinubu in a United States federal court is a civil dispute under the Freedom of Information Act, not a criminal case. The statement, issued by Special Adviser on Information and Strategy Bayo Onanuga, emphasized that the court has not found the President guilty of any criminal wrongdoing. The Presidency noted that the matter dates back to a 2003 letter from the American Consulate in Lagos, which stated that an FBI records check found no criminal records for Tinubu, who was then Governor of Lagos State.
