A United States-based political advisory and lobbying firm, Von Batten-Montague-York, has disclosed its next steps regarding its efforts to obtain records linked to President Bola Tinubu’s alleged past drug case in the United States.
The firm said it intends to pursue further action following developments surrounding requests for investigative records held by US agencies.
The matter relates to allegations concerning Tinubu and records reportedly held by agencies including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
The firm has previously been involved in efforts to secure the release of documents connected to the case, which has continued to generate political controversy in Nigeria.
The development comes amid renewed attention to the records and calls for greater transparency over documents relating to the allegations.
The allegations remain disputed, and no claim of criminal wrongdoing against Tinubu should be inferred from the existence of the records or the firm’s efforts to obtain them.
The US firm is expected to announce or take further steps as it continues with its pursuit of the documents.
