Thursday, September 24, 2026 - A United States journalist and transparency activist, Aaron Greenspan, has linked Nigeria’s President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to multiple investigations surrounding an alleged drug-trafficking network in the United States.
Greenspan made the allegation during an interview with Laolu
Akande, founder of Empowered Newswire, published on Wednesday.
He also raised the possibility of another criminal case
involving Tinubu that could be under seal.
The journalist stated that at least three separate US cases
are connected to the drug network investigated by American law enforcement
agencies in the 1990s.
Greenspan identified the cases as a series of 1992 criminal
indictments involving members of the alleged network, a separate criminal case
involving Nigerian businessman Abiodun Agbele; and a 1993 civil forfeiture
proceeding involving approximately $460,000 held in an account in Tinubu’s
name.
He equally raised the possibility of a fourth case involving
Tinubu, which, according to him, could be a criminal indictment filed under
seal.
According to the journalist and transparency activist, the
possibility arose from the level of detail contained in historical
investigative records relating to Tinubu, including information concerning bank
accounts, family members and a vehicle.
“The records could point to two possibilities — that US
authorities ultimately decided not to prosecute after investigating the matter,
or that a criminal case was filed but remains sealed.
“The records also connect Agbele to the alleged drug
network, while alleging that Tinubu’s reported connection was financial rather
than direct participation in heroin distribution,” he said.
