🇺🇸🇳🇬 U.S. Mission to UN Briefed on Tinubu’s Historical FBI, DEA Records Ahead of UNGA

A U.S.-based policy and lobbying firm, Von Batten-Montague-York, L.C. (VBMY), says it has presented information and legal arguments concerning historical allegations involving President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to senior officials at the U.S. Mission to the United Nations in New York ahead of the 2026 United Nations General Assembly. According to reports published this week, the firm said its engagement with U.S. officials began on September 8 and involved records and arguments relating to historical investigations by U.S. law-enforcement agencies, including the FBI and DEA. The allegations relate to a decades-old U.S. investigation connected to a Chicago narcotics case. The development comes as world leaders prepare to gather in New York for the high-level segment of the 81st UN General Assembly, scheduled for September 22–28, 2026. However, it is important to distinguish allegations and investigative records from a criminal conviction. Recent reporting indicates that FBI records connected to the historical investigation were submitted in federal court in Washington, D.C., while some documents remain under seal. The latest reported lobbying effort follows months of public attention surrounding requests for the release of historical FBI and DEA records concerning Tinubu. The Nigerian government and Tinubu have not been shown in the sources reviewed to have been criminally convicted in connection with the allegations described above.
