TINUBU’S LAWYERS ACKNOWLEDGE ERRORS IN U.S. COURT FILING OVER HISTORICAL INVESTIGATION RECORDS
Lawyers representing Nigerian President Bola Tinubu have acknowledged errors in an earlier filing before the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and asked the court for permission to replace it with an amended version. The filing is part of an ongoing Freedom of Information Act case brought by American transparency activist Aaron Greenspan seeking records from U.S. government agencies concerning Tinubu and others. Tinubu’s lawyers said the earlier submission contained incorrect or inadequate references involving 1993, Tinubu’s public office and a comparison involving student enrollment. They said the mistakes occurred during drafting and revision and did not change the substance of their legal argument. The case is a civil dispute over access to government records and does not amount to a criminal prosecution of President Tinubu.
