On 11 April, lawyers representing the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the Presidential Election Petitions Court, Abuja, insisted that Bola Tinubu, the party’s candidate at the February 25 presidential election, was never indicted for any drug-related offenses. Due to a 1993 Illinois court judgment, Tinubu forfeited $460,000 in two of his bank accounts.
The forfeiture was the outcome of an investigation that linked over $2 million in several of Tinubu’s bank accounts to proceeds from the heroin trafficking of Adegboyega Mueez Akande and Abiodun Agbele, Chicago drug kingpins.
