September 12, (THEWILL) – The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has said it would release approximately 2,500 documents relating to President Bola Tinubu’s time in the United States.
According to a court filing, the documents would be released in tranches starting from the end of October in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed by Aaron Greenspan, who runs PlainSite, a website that pushes anti-corruption and transparency in public service.
Greenspan filed the request in collaboration with investigation journalist, David Hundeyin.
The documents are expected to provide more information about Tinubu’s time in the United States, including when he entered the country, under what name he entered, and his activities while there.
They are scheduled to be released in batches of 500 pages per month, beginning in October.
In a status report docketed on September 11 at the United States District Court for the District of Columbia in Washington DC, the investigative body said: “FBI has identified a total of approximately 2500 pages potentially responsive to FOIA requests 1553430-00 and 1587544-000.
“FBI plans a processing schedule of 500 pages per month, with an initial release anticipated by the end of October 2023.”
