Von Batten-Montague-York, a US-based lobbying company, claims to have presented documents pertaining to the allegations against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to individuals within the Donald Trump administration and members of the US congress.

This revelation was made by the firm that was hired by Atiku Abubakar at a cost of $1.2 million for a period of 12 months on their official X account.

It is alleged that the company has commenced the presentation of over 60 pages of documents by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) relating to allegations that dated back to the 1980s and 1990s against the former Nigerian President regarding his involvement in heroin trafficking.

According to the firm, many people in the US government did not know about the historical DOJ documents and intends to ensure that all these documents are known to President Donald Trump.

“Following discussions with members of the @realDonaldTrump Administration, Congress, and senior congressional staff, we began providing more than 60 pages of @TheJusticeDept documents concerning the DOJ’s allegations of Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s (@officialABAT) alleged involvement in a heroin trafficking investigation spanning the late 1980s and early 1990s,” the firm wrote.

It added:

”Many within the U.S. government were previously unaware of the DOJ’s allegations concerning Bola Tinubu. We are changing that.

”Today, we are making public only the attached chronology summarising the DOJ’s allegations.

”We fully intend to ensure that the complete collection of DOJ court filings, the supporting affidavit, and the related federal court decisions are brought to President Trump’s attention as soon as possible.”

President Tinubu has consistently denied any wrongdoing. Previous Nigerian court proceedings concerning the 1993 U.S. civil forfeiture case held that the forfeiture was civil in nature and did not amount to a criminal conviction.
