Tinubu Was Not The Subject Of FBI Investigation – Reno Omokri

Nigeria’s ambassador-designate to Mexico, Reno Omokri, has admitted that an FBI investigation involving people connected to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has taken place. He recently had his say while speaking on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’, and Nigerians have been reacting.

Maintaining that Tinubu was not the target of the probe, Omokri declined to disclose the identities of those investigated, stressing that he is unwilling to expose their families to unnecessary consequences.

He concluded by saying that the controversy surrounding the US records has been driven by a misleading interpretation of Tinubu’s connection to funds that were subject to scrutiny by American authorities.

His words, “There was an investigation. Bola Ahmed Tinubu was not the subject of that investigation.

The President was an accountant, and then the President had client funds. Those persons had been indicted by the FBI, and as a result of that, it said that certain funds… are suspicious funds.

And then when it was brought to the attention of the President, the President agreed for a forfeiture. Now, it was to the accounts, not the President.

There was an investigation. Bola Ahmed Tinubu was not the subject of that investigation.”
