The FBI has warned a US court that releasing some records relating to President Tinubu could endanger lives, filing an application on August 20 to submit its explanation privately and under seal.
The agency said it cannot publicly explain why it withheld the records; doing so could expose sensitive law-enforcement techniques and procedures.
The records are being sought by Aaron Greenspan of PlainSite, who filed Freedom of Information Act requests for Tinubu documents from 1992 and 1993, including his entire FBI file.
The FBI said it would submit the confidential declaration before August 28 if the court grants its request.
