The court document docketed on July 26, 1993, and certified by Thomas O. Burton, the clerk of the court, indicted Tinubu for heroin trafficking.

The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore has fired shots at Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Sowore said Tinubu is a drug lord and a money launderer.

This comes after US court documents surfaced online on Tuesday showing that the former Governor of Lagos State was convicted of trafficking heroin and how he forfeited millions of dollars to the US Government to avoid being jailed.

The court document docketed on July 26, 1993, and certified by Thomas O. Burton, the clerk of the court, indicted Tinubu for heroin trafficking in the state of Illinois through a proxy organization owned by Adegboyega Mueez Akande and subsequently forfeited the proceeds of the crime to the US government.

The funds, which were held by First Heritage Bank and Citibank in trust for Tinubu were also reportedly forfeited to the US government for being proceeds of drug-related offenses.

Reacting, the activist and presidentia candidate also alleged that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, is a thief.

He wrote: “You just don’t need any “certified” court documents to tell you Bola Tinubu is a drug lord and money launderer, some of those sharing these documents today knew Bola Tinubu has always been a crook and druggie but hypocrisy won’t let them accept it then, the same way some won’t accept Atiku is a thief.”

Sowore added that the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, may also have some questions to answer.

“Peter Obi isn’t any different from Atiku and Bola Tinubu. They’re all alumni of the same crime family,” he added.
