Sources: 13. Developments: 2. A United States District Court for the District of Columbia recently denied a discovery request from transparency activist Aaron Greenspan. The request sought to question Nigerian President Bola Tinubu and the DCI Group regarding alleged cyberattacks on the legal research website PlainSite. The court ruled that the inquiry into these alleged cyberattacks was not sufficiently relevant to the primary Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) litigation, which involves requests for records from the FBI and the DEA. Following the ruling, the US-based firm Von Batten-Montague-York accused the Nigerian Presidency of providing a misleading account of the court decision. The firm characterized reports regarding the blocked discovery attempt as a “lie by omission.” Von Batten-Montague-York further alleged that the court ruling contained unfavorable findings for the FBI and the DEA. The firm claims the court denied cross-motions for summary judgment regarding information withholdings and criticized federal agencies for using “boilerplate” and “imprecise” excuses to withhold information related to President Tinubu and an alleged drug trafficking associate named Agbele. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-31: US firm accuses Nigerian Presidency of misleading public on court ruling A US lobbying firm has accused the Nigerian Presidency of misrepresenting a US court ruling involving President Bola Tinubu and alleged drug trafficking records. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/us-firm-accuses-nigerian-presidency-of-misleading-public-on-court-ruling ### 2026-10-31: US Court denies discovery request against President Tinubu A US federal court denied Aaron Greenspan’s request to obtain evidence from President Bola Tinubu and DCI Group, ruling that alleged cyberattacks on his website were not relevant to his ongoing FOIA lawsuit. 11 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/us-court-denies-discovery-request-against-president-tinubu --- Cite as: Legal disputes involving President Bola Tinubu.
