September 22, 2023 US Court Delays Release Of Tinubu’s School Records To Atiku

US Court Delays Release Of Tinubu’s School Records To Atiku

U.S. District Judge Nancy Maldonado has decided to stay an order requiring Chicago State University (CSU) to provide specific academic documents related to Bola Tinubu, who currently serves as the President of Nigeria.

Earlier, Magistrate Judge Jeffrey Gilbert had instructed CSU to submit these documents by the end of Thursday.

However, an emergency hearing on Thursday led Judge Maldonado to call for additional arguments from both sides, with a deadline of next Thursday. The legal team representing the Nigerian President argued that Judge Gilbert's decision needed review by a district judge, and this request was granted by Judge Maldonado. She expressed her commitment to making a prompt ruling, acknowledging the importance of the case.

Tinubu had filed an Emergency Motion in the Chicago Court, seeking a delay in releasing his academic records until at least Monday, September 25th. The court had initially ordered CSU to provide all records of Tinubu's student status to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar within two days.

Atiku contends that Tinubu's claim of graduating from Chicago State University needs to be more authentic and seeks these documents to support his case that the Nigerian leader was ineligible to run for the presidential election at the time he did.

According to the police, the approved venue for the event was Muri Okunola Park on Victoria Island, with the understanding that the procession would conclude by 8 p.m.

Benjamin Hundeyin, the command’s spokesperson, emphasised that teargas were used as a last resort. He stated that the police and the event organisers pleaded with the group to clear the road, but their requests were not heeded.

Hundeyin confirmed that there were no casualties or injuries due to the dispersal. He clarified, “Not a single live ammunition was fired,” and stressed that the police followed crowd management best practices throughout the encounter.

The statement further explained that the decision to use teargas was based on prior experiences and a thorough assessment of the situation. The police were determined to uphold public safety, prevent disorder, and maintain traffic flow on the Lekki-Epe Expressway.

Hundeyin called for calm and assured the public that the investigation into Mohbad's death was progressing smoothly.

He urged everyone to avoid unnecessary disruptions and allow the police to conduct a thorough and timely investigation.
