The Atiku Abubakar legal team, headed by Aaron Greenspan, has filed a motion before the United States District Court, District of Columbia, requesting the Fast tracking of the release of the Bola Tinubu files by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
In a letter signed by Aaron Greenspan, and dated October 20, 2023, the Atiku team, explained that the proposed October 31, 2023 for the release of the files may no longer be tenable as the Supreme Court of Nigeria has earmarked Monday, October 23, to begin hearing on the Atiku petition against Tinubu.
Describing Tinubu as ‘who is recognised by many as the current President of Nigeria’, the letter also noted that request was a borne out of the fact that ‘the timeline of events have accelerated dramatically’, and that the sudden advance in timing appears to be intended to front-line the release of responsive FOIA documents from the defendants in this action, and especially the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
