U.S Court Ready To Release Certified Court Papers Of Tinubu's Drug Crimes

The United States District Court, Northern District of Illinois has said

it is willing to release the original certified true copies of Court

papers that nailed former Lagos State Governor and National Leader of the

All Progressive Congress, APC, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu for drug crimes

in the United States.
Tinubu who is angling to be the Vice Presidential Candidate of the APC is

threatening legal actions against Sahara Reporters which had exposed his

many lies about his academic and drug crimes in the U.S.

In denying his drug crimes in the U.S, Tinubu had in a statement signed by

his spokesperson, Sunday Dare, said, “The rumor about drug running is the

lowest form of calumny. He has never been arrested, charged or indicted

for any drug-related crime. Had any such suspicion existed, the American

government would not have granted him political asylum during the Abacha

era. Under American law, asylum cannot attach to anyone who has broken or

offended that same law.
Moreover, Tinubu travels frequently to the states. This means he has a

visa. American law prohibits visa issuance to anyone reasonably suspected

of drug dealing, let along being convicted of the same.

But Pointblanknews.com, which had severally published the court documents

of Tinubu's drug crimes in the 1990's, contacted the U.S Court through the

office of Anita M. Baugard, Manager Operations (Docketing, Certified Copy

Desk, Intake Desk, Clerk's office Department on telephone number 312 435

5699.
A male Operator who would does not want his name published confirm that a

record of Tinubu's drug crime and the forfeiture of $460,000.00 indeed do

exist and the Court can release a certified true copy of the judgment upon

request.
“ I cannot give you details of the judgment. All I can say is that the

docket dated October 5, 1993 with No 93 C 4483 which you just quoted is in

respect of the United States of America and some funds in an account by

one Bola Tinubu in some accounts that were forfeited,” the operator told

Pointblanknews.com over the phone.
“If you come with whatever you have, we can issue you a certified true

copies of the Judgment, the operator said.
Judge John Nordberg who delivered the judgment against Tinubu had retired

in 2014 after 32 Years of service.
According to the document, signed by a former United States

Government
 Narcotics Attache in its embassy in Nigeria, Andre W.

Kellum, Tinubu
 operated an organisation that distributed cocaine.

Cocaine, Heroine, Guns and other paraphernalia used in running the

drug
 business were all recovered from the Tinubu-led drug cartel in

Chicago in 
the early 1993.
Kellum who signed the U.S documents while serving in Nigeria, is now


Regional Director for the Drug Enforcement Agency, DEA, in Bangkok,


Thailand.




Kellum said that though Tinubu was not

subjected to criminal prosecution,
 the fact that he acceded to

forfeiting funds to the United States 
Government was on its own a

conviction.




Kellum's letter was a response to a petition

pertaining to Tinubu's
 suitability to stand for re-election in 2003

as the governor of Lagos
State.
