President Bola Tinubu has given the United States District Court for the District of Columbia four reasons why his unredacted records with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Drug Enforcement Agency should not be released to the public.
The President, in fillings made by his lawyers and published on Saturday, noted that the US Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act precluded disclosure and there was no public interest in the matter.
Tinubu also said there was no public interest to balance and the plaintiff had ulterior motives for demanding documents with his name on them.
His lawyers were identified as Christopher Carmichael, Victor Henderson and Oluwole Afolabi.
The President’s submission was in response to a request by an American transparency activist, Aaron Greenspan, which sought the disclosure of the records under the US Freedom of Information Act.
