Key United States agencies, including the FBI, DEA, IRS, and the Department of State, are expected to release the long-awaited reports on the alleged drug-related case involving President Bola Tinubu on May 2, 2025.
This follows a court order from the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
The directive, issued by Judge Beryl Howell, mandates the release of documents in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by American activist and transparency advocate, Aaron Greenspan.
Judge Howell ruled in early April that withholding the information was “neither logical nor plausible,” rejecting arguments against public disclosure.
The involved agencies, U.S. attorney office, Department of State, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) were ordered to submit a joint status report on any outstanding issues, with the CIA excluded from the release directive at this stage.
Greenspan, the founder of Plainsite.org, initiated the Freedom of Information Act requests in June 2023, seeking documents related to alleged federal investigations into President Tinubu and three other individuals, Lee Andrew Edwards, Mueez Abegboyega Akande, and Abiodun Agbele.

The requests stem from claims of a multi-agency probe, allegedly conducted by the FBI, IRS, DEA, and U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Northern Districts of Indiana and Illinois.
Between 2022 and 2023, Greenspan filed 12 separate Freedom of Information Act requests across six federal agencies.
The case has attracted significant public interest due to President Tinubu’s political position and long-standing questions surrounding his past in the United States.
The scheduled release of these documents on May 2 could provide new insight into the decades-old allegations and reshape discussions about President Tinubu’s past and political legitimacy.
