Before he was president of the 3^rd world country, businessman Bola Ahmed Tinubu, was immigrant going to school on a discount in America where he studied at Chicago State University, no doubt on Black American’s tax dollars, and was apart of a “diversity initiative” for a racetrack business.

He would go on to get “internships” at companies like Exxon Mobile and Deloitte. So clearly this guy was being groomed for higher prospects.

U.S. authorities in the early 1990s linked then-businessman Bola Ahmed Tinubu to bank accounts in the Chicago area that federal agents believed were tied to a heroin distribution network. These materials were part of a civil forfeiture case where Tinubu agreed to forfeit assets, reportedly valued around $460,000, instead of going to trial.

A Nigerian journalist named David Hundeyin, who has been a vocal advocate for transparency on the issue, posted on X (formerly Twitter) that the CIA, FBI, and DEA had recently submitted a memorandum opposing the release of Tinubu’s records. Intelligence officials argued that revealing such connections could “compromise U.S. national security” and referenced Tinubu’s possible status as a CIA asset.

Which is right in line for the pattern of Nigeria building its fragile economy on drug dealing. According to the United Nations Nigeria is a transit point for heroin and cocaine intended for European, East Asian, and North American markets.

Even more suspiciously, while working for Mobil Oil Company in Nigeria, Tinubu used a variety of shell companies to move the money around, including Compass Finance & Investment Co., incorporated in Washington, D.C., as well as a separate Compass entity incorporated in Nigeria. Though he was not charged, Tinubu committed at least six federal crimes.

According to the IRS Special Agent’s affidavit in the case of the nearly half a million dollars in funds linked to heroine, Tinubu guilty of money laundering, bank fraud, using funds from unlawful activity, failure to file tax returns, lying to federal agents, and conspiracy.
