The All Progressives Congress has admitted that its candidate in the just concluded presidential election and President-elect, Bola Tinubu, forfeited the sum of $460,000 to the government of the United States of America, in 1993 following a drug trafficking allegation.

However, the party, in processes it filed to defend its candidate, refuted the claim that Tinubu was convicted by the US as a result of the forfeiture.

The APC informed the Presidential Election Petition Court, sitting at the Court of Appeal in Abuja, that funds in the said accounts, which were domiciled in two commercial banks, were subject to a “civil forfeiture proceeding” in Case No: 93C4483. “The said decision is not against the 2nd Respondent but against the funds in the various account opened in the name of Bola Tinubu with First Heritage Bank and City Bank N.A.

“The compromise terms that led to the forfeiture were preceded by express admission on record that the 2nd Respondent did not admit the commission of any drug, drug-related or illicit conduct of dishonesty or fraud that fits into any of the grounds of disqualification to contest for the office of president of Nigeria at the February 25, 2023 general election,” the APC told the Tribunal.All rights reserved.

Forfeited for what? Stupid Media. Compromised people. If it were Obi, you will say what is not on the pepper

No be Punch Talk am oh. Na APC

See how neutral this headline is, you think you are smart?. Replace Tinubu with Obi and Punch will scream it wide that he forfeited drug money. Continue to play the Ostrich

For what ?… for MacDonald's or Kentucky fried chicken… man up and say the reason for the forfeiture, if u don't know don't tweet incomplete facts

Good grief 😭

See you guys should be specific, why did he forfeit such amount of money... ? You guys need to upgrade your articles

Actually fkeyamo aonanuga1956 realFFK as usual will tell us he forfeited it to settle his house address number traced with drugs trafficking or as a good Samaritan they mistakenly dropped drugs money into his account,for America to develope their states. APC! Oshisko family!

Answer correctly. What are the reason/s for the forfeiture?

Add drug money! They won't seize your licence!!!

You can’t just forfeit your hard earned money to government just like that without any condition. Simple arguments

Forfeiture is a punitive measure. An innocent person doesn't have his property or money forfeited if he's not liable for any wrongdoing.

The best Yoruba can present to rule this country 😂😂😂

This is a useless header from one of the most respected media outlets in Nigeria... SMH

Is it for roasted bole or for what?

Sorosoke Mai fren😀

Punch, you people must take time. Are just learning journalism? Why can't you publish a story as it is without suger coating?

Father Christmas 🤶

Where's the headlines? This report doesn't have headline, na only bottom line them give am.

Even Tony Montana go ask say how many kilos..

Good morning from this side.

Bola Tinubu's Drug Case, and $460,000 Forfeiture 2. 25% in FCT 3. Forged Certificate 4. INEC not following its guidelines 5. Shettima's Double Nomination 6. Election Rigging, etc This are issues on ground not the other way round.

Apprehension about his selection by Inec. Probably trying to avoid the wrath of his govt in the event that he is installed. Otherwise I see no reason they would be mute over the glaring evidence. Shame on the mainstream media and in fact we shall get our mandate back.God will.

Money is not forfeited except a crime has been committed or the money in question is proceeds of a crime. Now in a situation where neither is the case, the person asked to forfeit would argue against it. Where non was made, then it is prima facie admission of guilt.

Una life don spoil and una no see person tell una.

It’s obvious that the mainstream media is connivance with the APC in sabotaging the Nigerian state by not telling Tinubu ‘s heroin story as it is. It make me think that there is something they know as regard the ruling party perfecting plan to install Tinubu irrespective of the

And Peter Obi keeps telling us to be calm.

Shameless Newspaper. What was the Forfeiture for...... Add that sh1t on the headline too. Una too bias. Damn

For what? Is it for garri, is it for ewa, is for beans and dodo?

I guess the American DA should have found a way to Punish the Funds 😂😂

Just read the thing 🤢 An anaemic echo of APC's rancid 'defense' of the indefensible. Punch doesn't pack half a punch; Vanguard stands guard over the desolated hallows of national conscience... All of them are paralysed into complicity by incompetence and mediocrity.

😂😂😂😂😂😂
