US lobbying firm renews threat against president Tinubu over alleged drug trafficking links

A United States-based political advisory and lobbying firm, Von Batten-Montague-York, has renewed its threat against President Bola Tinubu over allegations linking him to drug trafficking.

The firm issued the warning in a post shared on its verified X handle, declaring that it was “coming for” the Nigerian president.

According to the organisation, its founder, Dr Von Batten, met with members of the US Congress and senior state government officials during the Republican National Midterm Convention.

It said the meeting included discussions with Virginia Representative John McGuire and Indiana official Diego Morales, whom it described as strong defenders of American liberty.

The firm claimed that Dr Von Batten briefed the officials on alleged Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) findings linking Tinubu to a criminal organisation accused of smuggling heroin from Nigeria into the United States during the 1980s and 1990s.

It further alleged that the group transported heroin into Chicago and Indiana, while proceeds from the alleged activities were laundered through several banks, including financial institutions in Virginia.

Von Batten-Montague-York said the involvement of officials from Virginia and Indiana was significant because of the alleged links outlined in the court records.

“We have a message for President Bola Tinubu and his enablers. We are coming for you. As cowardly 9/11 terrorists and their enablers found out, time is irrelevant,” the firm stated.

It added, “Those who harm Americans cannot outrun American justice. The war against Nigerian Narco terrorists has no expiration date.”

The allegations remain claims made by the firm and have not been established as proven facts in this report.
