The Nigerian government responded Sunday to a US court telling the FBI to release information on President Bola Tinubu. Presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga said these reports have been public for over thirty years. He told reporters that nothing in these documents shows the Nigerian leader's wrongdoing.

Greenspan claimed the FBI broke information laws when they failed to release documents about investigations into Tinubu.
Some people say Tinubu gave up $460,000 to American authorities in 1993 after officials connected the money to drug...
