Alleged drug trafficking: ‘No cover-up for Tinubu’ – US firm

A United States-based policy advisory and lobbying firm, Von Batten-Montague-York has vowed that there will be no cover-up over the alleged drug trafficking allegations involving Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu.

Von Batten-Montague-York made the vow in a statement posted on X on Tuesday.

The firm said that President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice, DOJ, fought the release of Freedom of Information Act, FOIA, records concerning drug-trafficking allegations involving Tinubu.

It, however, stressed that the DOJ under President Donald Trump would never protect an alleged drug trafficker linked to the smuggling of heroin from Nigeria through Illinois to Indiana.

According to the firm, instead of protecting Americans, the Biden DOJ chose to go after President Trump, adding that, if not for the grace of God, it might have succeeded in destroying him.

It said the DOJ went after President Trump while fighting the release of records concerning Tinubu, a man accused in federal records of involvement in heroin trafficking.

The firm appreciated President Trump, US Attorney Jeanine Pirro, everyone in the Trump administration, as well as members of Congress who “refused to follow the footsteps of Biden’s DOJ,” which it accused of shielding an alleged drug trafficker.

“Unlike President Joe Biden’s DOJ, which fought the release of FOIA records concerning drug-trafficking allegations involving Nigerian President Bola Tinubu, the DOJ under President Donald Trump will never protect an alleged drug trafficker linked to the smuggling of heroin from Nigeria through Illinois to Indiana,” Von Batten-Montague-York tweeted.

DAILY POST recalls that United States District Judge Beryl Howell, on Tuesday, gave Donald Trump-appointed attorney Jeanine Pirro four additional days to release the drug-trafficking records of Tinubu.
