American Psychologist, Jeffrey Guterman Writes FBI To Release Tinubu’s $460,000 Forfeiture File

Jeffrey Guterman, a former mental health counselor from the United States, has sent a request to the Federal Bureau of Intelligence (FBI) to release its files on Nigeria’s president-elect, Bola Tinubu.

There has been speculation that Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) was indicted in drug-related offense, resulting in a forfeiture of $460,000 to the US government in 1993.

But the APC denied the allegation, claiming that the funds which were held by two commercial banks, were subject to a “civil forfeiture proceeding” rather than a “criminal forfeiture proceeding.”

Tinubu’s defense team said that the forfeiture was not a fine, but rather a decree of forfeiture of $460,000 to the US in exchange for the parties’ settlement of the claim.

In a post shared on his Twitter page, Jeffrey Guterman revealed that he has sent a petition to the FBI to release it’s files on Tinubu over the drug trafficking allegations.

The medical practitioner, who is a staunch supporter of Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, stated that Tinubu’s drug trafficking case is an imminent threat to the public.

He wrote, “I just sent a request to the @FBI to release their file on Bola Tinubu based on the U.S. Freedom of Information Act.”

When asked by a Twitter user how long it takes the FBI to release such a document, Guterman said, “Not sure, but I filed an expedited request because Tinubu’s reported drug trafficking is an imminent threat to the public.”

KanyiDaily recalls that Jeffrey Guterman had previously called for the arrest of Bola Tinubu.
