IjeBos:Gbam. How he escaped not being charged especially for a drug offense is what is surprising, but I read that this type of cases of civil forfeiture were common in that period. |

KPGGlobal:The police believed it was proceed from a drug related offence. Hence, the civil forfeiture. Why he wasn't arrested or charged, or indicted or convicted (even in absentia) like Senator Buruji Kasamu is what I do not know. Any of those would have led to a criminal forfeiture. Basically he walks away free without a criminal record to his name in America. I am returning to work. It's 3.21pm where I am. Have a good night. |

PulaPower:Please stop this! Lawyer or not we saw court documents and prosecution stating that the forfeiture was for heroine related case.... Stop showing US consulate letters and IGP they are not concrete evidence. If you guys wana do a good job, subpoena the FBI or the Chicago state Court for unclassified docs they will release to you with joy. I have helped you paste it below, pls can you or can you not see narcotics trafficking as reason for the forfeiture? The US govt also gave then the chance to come dispute but he never came cos he knew in the 90s racism was still an ish and he's black ass would have been incarcerated. I also heard Kevin moss is coming to testify pray it's not true, cos that would be the final nail to the coffin. The judges will avoid a wrong judgement like plague. 1 Like

Islie:Blowing big grammar that lacks substance. Which one is "...pursuant to the settlement of claim by the parties to the case." The parties to the case were the government and Tinubu, and the said funds were forfeited to the government, being proceeds of illicit drug trade. No big grammar can hide the fact that Tinubu's account was used for illicit drug trade. The whole world knows that. |

I have perused all documents that are in the public and although I am yet to see Tinubu's court defense and affidavit that he put up; these are my deducements: 1) This was a civil case and by such no criminal arrests/convictions were made. 2) The US Govt filed to have all the sums 0f $1.4mm forfeited but Tinubu fought back and through a settlement agreement he eventually had forfeited that $460k. This tells me not all funds in the account were traced to illegal activity OR the US couldnt prove the entirety of the sums were from illegal source. Noteworthy is the fact that the DEA/FBI have a conviction rate of 99% 3) The DEA ALWAYS prosecutes drug dealers, accountants and accomplices in criminal suits. Even if there will be a forfeiture, or even a plea bargain the defendant MUST go on record to admit guilt. However, in this case there wasnt a conviction or even a criminal trial which drug trafficking demands and furthermore, the US Govt put a caveat stating that Tinubu is prohibited from suing the Govt in future for this same forfeiture. That is very strange because it seems like they were bargaining with a ''criminal'' and afraid that the criminal will sue in the future. On what grounds will someone who committed a crime be suing? Like why is that caveat there? I believe that Tinubu still needs to come out to say exactly what transpired as this will undoubtedly affect the image of the country, he is responding to the petitions on technical grounds from what I understand. Yet, it is not enough to me, people genuinely want to know what transpired and come to a fair conclusion. Perhaps going into the hearings proper, more light will be shed. Until i see the documents that he filed in his own defense in the US court, I will have questions that still needs answers. Back to the petitions filed, the onus is on LP to prove that this was a criminal suit, that he was charged and convicted in court and that the forfeiture was due to his direct involvement in the illicit drug case. This is the bone of contention |
