Just In: FBI Writes Letter About Tinubu’s Drug Trafficking Allegations

The Federal Bureau of Intelligence, FBI, has responded to a retired American mental health counsellor, Jeffrey Guterman’s request, seeking the release of the President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s drug trafficking file.

Guterman, who appeared disappointed with the response, said his request was rejected by the FBI on the grounds that it is an unwarranted invasion of Tinubu’s privacy.

Doctor Guterman shared the FBI’s letter to him regarding his request on his social media handle.

The American doctor wrote: “See below a copy of the letter I received today from the @FBI regarding my request, based on the Freedom of Information Act, for the FBI file on Bola Tinubu.

“My request was rejected because, according to the FBI, the existence of files on third-party individuals will neither be confirmed or denied by the FBI due to unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.

“I found it noteworthy that in my online submission, I referred to Tinubu as “Bola Tinubu,” but in their letter the FBI referred to him as TINUBU, BOLA AHMED. How would the FBI access the Ahmed part of his name? Again, I did not provide the Ahmed part of his name in my submission. Moreover, it is public knowledge that the FBI has a file on Tinubu for his $460,000 forfeiture to the U.S.

“The letter also states that if I received their response through standard mail (which I did), this is because my online submission did not meet their terms of service. According to the letter, my options are to (1) submit any questions by email or call their office, (2) administratively appeal their decision within 90 days of the date of their letter, and/or (3) seek dispute resolution by email. I will now consider my next plan of action.”

Jeffrey Guterman’s plan b is to resort to the court, hoping it could compel the FBI to retrieve Tinubu’s drug trafficking files.
