While the world was protesting against Shell Oil and the Abacha
Administration for the pollution of the Niger Delta and the hanging of
Ken Saro-Wiwa, Bola Tinubu secretly owned and operated a Shell Oil
Station in Washington DC.
This is despite the fact that he was a part of NADECO and was
publicly involved in condemning Shell Oil and the Abacha administration.
Indeed, Bola Tinubu is a shining example of a person who has
extremely low moral turpitude. In my 20+ years of observing his
operations, I realized long ago that if he has to choose between
personal profit and doing the right thing, the former always wins.
Speaking of, as much fun as we make of Buruji Kashamu for being
wanted in the USA for Heroin distribution, Bola Tinubu and his wife,
Remi, were also involved in the distribution of that drug in the late
80s, early 90s.
Their career in the drug trade was cut short when they were apprehended by the US government.
To get off the hook, Bola (who was then a Senator in Nigeria) and
Remi Tinubu struck a deal with Federal Prosecutors where they turned
state’s evidence and forfeited the bulk of the assets they got from the
narcotics trade. In exchange their criminal records were sealed, and all
that was left was the civil forfeiture of assets judgement.
Below is part of that judgement:
1:93-cv-04483 USA v. Acct 263226700, et al
John A. Nordberg, presiding
Cause: 21:0881 Forfeiture of Property (Cause 21:881 means the
property is forfeited because it was acquired through the distribution
of drugs)
MINUTE ORDER of 10/4/93 by Hon. John A. Nordberg: Counsel for the
plaintiff appeared. Enter Decree of Forfeiture as to funds held by
First Heritage Bank.
It is ordered that the funds in the amount of $460,000 in account
263226700 held by First Heritage Bank in the name of Bola Tinubu are
forfeited to the United States pursuant to 21 USC 881(a)(6) and 18 USC
981.
It is ordered that First Heritage Bank shall issue a check in the
amount of $460,000 payable to Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago
terminating case Mailed notice (fce).
Of course I need not go into the issue of Bola Tinubu’s real
identity, his birth name isn’t even “Tinubu” for starters, nor do I need
to rehash the issue of his falsified tertiary academic records.
Mr. Daniyan was not done yet. He carried on with a set of tweets targeted at Tinubu. He tweeted from his Twitter handle @MrAyeDee as follows with the corresponding images:
“For those who want to access Tinubu’s case history, I am
about to give a primer on exactly what you need to do. Coming up in a
few minutes.”
“Firstly go to the United States Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) site https://www.pacer.gov “
“Secondly- Log in (register if you haven’t done so already)”
“Thirdly- Click on ‘Case Locator’”
“Fourthly- Click on actual URL- ‘PACER Case Locator’”
“Fifthly- Put in ‘Tinubu’ in the ‘Party Name Tab’ Don’t click ‘Exact’”
“Sixthly- Click on URL link that is next to Bola Tinubu’s Name”
“Seventh(ly)- This comes up. Click on whatever is of interest to you… It’s all about Bola and Remi Tinubu”
Senator Bola Tinubu nor any of his aides is yet to
debunk the allegations…
