US lobbying firm urges indictment of Nigerian President Bola Tinubu

Bola Tinubu Von Batten-Montague-York US indictment drug trafficking allegations US‑Nigeria diplomatic tension

Washington‑based Republican lobbying firm Von Batten‑Montague‑York, L.C. announced it will pressure U.S. federal authorities to consider indicting Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over alleged 1990s heroin trafficking linked to a Chicago forfeiture case. The firm cited a $460,000 bank‑account seizure in the Northern District of Illinois and said it has been circulating historic Department of Justice filings with congressional offices. It thanked Representative Chris Smith after a House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee hearing titled “UN Accountability and Reform: Advancing an America First Foreign Policy,” and argued that “calling out drug dealers is not unpatriotic; it is justice.” The firm contrasted Tinubu with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and pledged to continue its lobbying efforts.
