US lobbying firm takes Tinubu's heroin trafficking allegations to congress

The Washington, D.C.-based lobbying firm Von Batten-Montague-York, L.C. stated that allegations against Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu regarding heroin trafficking in the 1980s and 1990s warrant U.S. policymakers' attention. The firm engaged with members of Congress about the issue, emphasizing that these allegations could raise national security concerns and affect U.S.-Nigeria relations. It also questioned whether Tinubu is a strategic asset or an increasing national-security liability.
