Yesterday in US, a federal court, the CIA, FBI, and DEA filed a memorandum opposing the motion for summary judgment in the FOIA disclosure case about President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s drug trafficking investigation records.
In the filing, the CIA effectively confirmed that Nigeria’s sitting president is an active CIA asset: “Human sources can be expected to furnish information to the CIA only when they are confident the CIA can and will do everything in its power to prevent the public disclosure of their cooperation. In the case of a person who has been cooperating with the CIA, official confirmation of that cooperation could cause the targets to take retaliatory action against that person or against their family or friends.”
The part that annoys me the most: “We oppose full, unredacted disclosure of the DEA’s Bola Tinubu heroin trafficking investigation records because we believe that while Nigerians have a right to be informed about what their government is up to, they do not have a right to know what their president is up to,” the DEA statement reads.
This is what neocolonialism looks like. Install a criminal as president and give him the matching orders to destroy whatever is left of the economy, and watch the resources flow to your own country by hook or by crook.
Is there any hope for Naija?
