US Physician Explains Reasons Tinubu forfeited $460,000

A United States-based medical doctor, Dr. Marindoti Oludare has faulted allegations that the President-elect, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, was ever involved in drug dealings in the United States of America

Oludare, also the Convener of Social Rehabilitation Gruppe (SRG) further explained that Tinubu’s love affair for Nigeria is one that has taken a lot of sacrifices.

He made this clarification in a statement he issued from the State of Texas, United States yesterday, faulting claims that the money was the proceeds of drug trafficking.

He said: “One thing that is universal about true love is that love is giving and Tinubu has always given without holding any lien. Many times this gift has not been reciprocated by those who have received it.

“Other times, the gift has been maligned by its beneficiaries. A case in point is the $460,000 he forfeited in September 1993,” the statement explained.

Citing the court filing, Oludare added: “Asiwaju’s money of over $2 million dollars were seized in January 1,0 1992, but an official filing was not made until July 15, 1993 (19 months after), a court order for the seizure was not officially given until August 19, 1993 and the banks did not receive an official notice until August 25 1993.

“The compromise settlement was filed September 15, 1993 and Asiwaju was given another 10 days to come and claim the remaining $460,000 if he chooses to. A thinking mind will ask, why did the prosecutor wait 19 months to file a case then settle it under two months.

This is because the prosecutor never had a case against Asiwaju. Had Asiwaju been a white man, maybe his fate would have been different in the racist American judicial system. Let’s go into the details of the case because that’s where the devil lies.
