The Directory New media for the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council, Femi Fani-Kayode, on Saturday, said the Federal Bureau of Investigation conducted an investigation on the party’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, for claims linking him to drugs and drug money laundering, and found nothing.

The PUNCH reported that, earlier this year, a document released by the US District Court for the Northern District of Illinois said to have investigated Tinubu’s alleged involvement in narcotics and money laundering about 30 years ago, a matter that led to the forfeiture of $460,000 to the US government.

Later in November, on Channels TV, the chief spokesperson for the Tinubu-Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, Festus Keyamo, respomded to the report, saying that the money was tax deducted from one of the 10 accounts linked to Tinubu in the US, adding also that “he took responsibility for all the 10 accounts because they were also traced to his mother and relatives”.

Fani-Kayode who recently wrote in an essay titled, “the obsessions of David Hundeyin” on his official website, said, “The $460,000 was seized only as a consequence of the IRS claiming and asserting that he (Tinubu) had not paid tax on his numerous American investments.

“Tinubu chose not to challenge or dispute that claim and assertion by the IRS even though he was perfectly within his rights to do so and hence he willingly forfeited that money.

“The seizure of the $460,000 USD had NOTHING to do with drugs or links to drug trafficking.

“Rather it had EVERYTHING to do with tax and it was the IRS that claimed it.

“The FBI investigated Tinubu for links to drugs and laundering drug money and they found NOTHING.

“He came out clean. Most of the money they originally seized was returned.

“The money that was not returned had NOTHING to do with drugs.

“Tinubu is a clean, wholesome, hard-working and innocent man and those making these allegations are simply trying to derail his presidential ambition.

“They are also filled with hate and they resent his great successes in life.”

The former minister further added that the entitled $1 million was never returned to Tinubu, clearing that Tinubu was not indicted for any crime whatsoever.
