U.S Court Ready To Release Certified Court Papers Of Tinubu’s Drug Crimes

The United States District Court, Northern District of Illinois has said it is willing to release the original certified true copies of Court papers that nailed former Lagos State Governor and National Leader of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu for drug crimes in the United States. Tinubu is threatening legal actions against Sahara Reporters which had exposed his many lies about his academic and drug crimes in the U.S. 

In denying his drug crimes in the U.S, Tinubu had in a statement signed by his spokesperson, Sunday Dare, said, “The rumor about drug running is the lowest form of calumny. He has never been arrested, charged or indicted for any drug-related crime. Had any such suspicion existed, the American government would not have granted him political asylum during the Abacha era. Under American law, asylum cannot attach to anyone who has broken or offended that same law. Moreover, Tinubu travels frequently to the states. This means he has a visa. American law prohibits visa issuance to anyone reasonably suspected of drug dealing, let along being convicted of the same. 

Tinubu flanked Buhari and other APC stalwarts. Buhari has claimed he is not corrupt because he has only N1m naira in account. But he is running his campaign based on corrupt proceeds from people like Bola Tinubu and Rotimi Amaechi.

But Pointblanknews.com, which had severally published the court documents of Tinubu’s drug crimes in the 1990’s, contacted the U.S Court through the office of Anita M. Baugard, Manager Operations (Docketing, Certified Copy Desk, Intake Desk, Clerk’s office Department on telephone number 312 435 5699. A male Operator who would does not want his name published confirm that a record of Tinubu’s drug crime and the forfeiture of $460,000.00 indeed do exist and the Court can release a certified true copy of the judgment upon request. “ I cannot give you details of the judgment. All I can say is that the docket dated October 5, 1993 with No 93 C 4483 which you just quoted is in respect of the United States of America and some funds in an account by one Bola Tinubu in some accounts that were forfeited,” the operator told Pointblanknews.com over the phone. 

“If you come with whatever you have, we can issue you a certified true copies of the Judgment, the operator said. Judge John Nordberg who delivered the judgment against Tinubu had retired in 2014 after 32 Years of service. According to the document, signed by a former United States Government
 Narcotics Attache in its embassy in Nigeria, Andre W. Kellum, Tinubu
 operated an organisation that distributed cocaine. Cocaine, Heroine, Guns and other paraphernalia used in running the drug
 business were all recovered from the Tinubu-led drug cartel in Chicago in 
the early 1993. Kellum who signed the U.S documents while serving in Nigeria, is now 
Regional Director for the Drug Enforcement Agency, DEA, in Bangkok, 
Thailand. 



Kellum said that though Tinubu was not subjected to criminal prosecution,
 the fact that he acceded to forfeiting funds to the United States 
Government was on its own a conviction. 



Kellum’s letter was a response to a petition pertaining to Tinubu’s
 suitability to stand for re-election in 2003 as the governor of Lagos
State.
