Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential candidate, has denied any involvement in drug trafficking or money laundering.
According to reports, some documents were supposedly disclosed by the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, which allegedly indicted Tinubu in Chicago narcotics dealings and money laundering.
The documents, which went viral on Tuesday evening, provided information about Tinubu’s suspected involvement in drug deals and the receipt of unlawful funds while in the United States.
The 56-page dossier revealed Tinubu feared conviction on narcotics charges in the United States, especially after it was revealed that he surrendered up to $460,000 to US authorities in 1993.
However, in a meeting with reporters on Tuesday night, the APC Presidential Campaign Council’s Director of Media and Publicity, Bayo Onanuga, rejected accusations that his principle was involved in drug dealings and money laundering.
Onanuga claimed that the tale, which initially arose before the APC presidential election, is a hoax and accused the media for spreading it.

“It resurfaced before the primary (presidential) and now again. It is nothing new. It’s dead. It’s as dead as a dodo.”
