A United States-based political advisory and lobbying firm, Von Batten-Montague-York, has renewed its allegations against President Bola Tinubu over alleged links to drug trafficking, declaring that it is pursuing the matter.

The firm made the statement through its verified X account, where it wrote, “We’re coming for you.”

The firm’s founder, Dr Von Batten, said he recently met with members of the US Congress and senior state officials during the Republican National Midterm Convention. Among those he mentioned were Virginia Representative John McGuire and Indiana Representative Diego Morales.

According to the firm, the meetings focused on allegations it claimed were contained in FBI and DEA records, alleging that Tinubu was linked to a criminal organisation involved in smuggling heroin from Nigeria into the United States during the 1980s and 1990s.

It further claimed that officials from Virginia and Indiana were relevant to the matter because, according to its interpretation of court records, the alleged organisation moved drugs through Chicago and Indiana and laundered proceeds through banks in Virginia.

The firm also warned that it would continue pursuing the allegations, stating that those responsible for harming Americans could not evade US justice.

The allegations remain claims made by the US-based firm and have not been established as facts by the material cited in its statement.

President Tinubu, who served as Lagos State governor from 1999 to 2007, has previously faced scrutiny over allegations concerning his past in the United States. The Nigerian presidency has consistently rejected allegations of wrongdoing against him.
