Documents obtained by News Band have shown strong evidence that the forfeiture of $460,000 imposed on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu by the United States District Court, Northern District of Illinois, in 1993 was actually for drug trafficking and money laundering.
The first document dated July 26, 1993, shows how the United States Marshals executed the forfeiture and took possession of the funds found in the bank accounts of Tinubu.
Entitled “Warrant Of Seizure And Motion“, it was filed by Michael J. Shepherd, the United States Attorney for the District on behalf of the United States in the city of Chicago against bank accounts belonging to Tinubu.
Below is a receipt of the forfeiture by showing Tinubu broke the laws by dealing on drugs and the U.S Government took the drug money:
The second document also entitled “Warrant Of Seizure And Motion” by Michael Shepherd and also dated July 26, 1993, shows how the United States Marshals executed the forfeiture and took possession of the funds found in the bank accounts of Tinubu and his comrades in trade, namely Compass Finance & Investment Co.
