'Tinubu is CIA' has become one of the top trends on X after a court document suggested that President Bola Tinubu is an active agent of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
It has dominated the trending list on X, moving between the first and third positions as Nigerians try to digest the latest revelation.
Investigative journalist David Hundeyin made public a memorandum filed by the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Drug Enforcement Administration before the United States District Court for the District of Columbia on Tuesday, November 12. This memorandum opposed the release of records related to President Bola Tinubu.
The post contained excerpts from the arguments made by the CIA and other US law enforcement agencies, revealing that President Tinubu is an active 'CIA asset' and emphasizing that Nigerians "have no right" to access his records.
Their stance follows a US court's rejection of an emergency application by Hundeyin, which sought to compel US authorities to expedite the release of confidential information about President Bola Tinubu.
Hundeyin shared an update, stating that the three US agencies had filed their defense against the summary judgment regarding President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's drug trafficking investigation records.
The journalist wrote: ‘Yesterday(Monday) in federal court, the CIA, FBI, and DEA filed a memorandum opposing our motion for summary judgment in the FOIA disclosure case about President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s drug trafficking investigation records, where we are seeking to have the redactions removed from the (partially released) files.
“In the filing, the CIA effectively confirmed that Nigeria's sitting president is an active CIA asset. An excerpt from the CIA filing reads:
"Human sources can be expected to furnish information to the CIA only when they are confident the CIA can and will do everything in its power to prevent the public disclosure of their cooperation. In the case of a person who has been cooperating with the CIA, official confirmation of that cooperation could cause the targets to take retaliatory action against that person or against their family or friends.
"It also places in jeopardy every individual with whom the cooperating individual has had contact. Thus, the indiscretion of one source in a chain of intelligence sources can damage an entire spectrum of sources.
“As such, confirming or denying the existence of records on a particular foreign national, like Tinubu, reasonably could be expected to cause damage to U.S. national security by indicating whether or not the CIA maintained any human intelligence sources related to Tinubu, and identifying any access or lack of access any such sources had to intelligence concerning him "
“And if that wasn't bad enough, the DEA's filing included a paragraph that literally said: "We oppose full, unredacted disclosure of the DEA's Bola Tinubu heroin trafficking investigation records because we believe that while Nigerians have a right to be informed about what their government is up to, they do not have a right to know what their president is up to."
“At this point, I think there is nothing more to be said about the direct role that the US government plays in ensuring that Africa is constantly destabilized and afflicted with terrible leaders who create poverty and devastation.”

The President of Africa’s most populous country is a foreign spy who has been reportedly feeding intel to the CIA and possibly other foreign agencies for decades.
This might explain why he has no… pic.twitter.com/6Y7yh7BfAh
The CIA just confirmed what David Hundeyin has been saying for long. Tinubu is a CIA asset in Nigeria. But Obidients and Peter Obi is our problem. Okay na.

Bola Tinubu is a CIA spy, that is what should be on everyone’s lips, but it’s so unfortunate that we don’t seem to understand the enormity of having a CIA spy occupy our seat of power. Security and economic wise, we are fucked https://t.co/xInqJoFBna pic.twitter.com/gkZoiqoZqI

CIA finally admitted Bola Tinubu is a CIA asset. We are under the rule of an asset who takes orders from people who want Nigeria to stay down.

Tinubu is a CIA agent, a whole giant of Africa president 🇳🇬.
We're dumb!
I think almost a year back, AIT News released a documentary that portrayed the hidden life of President Tinubu. At that time, Tinubu sued them in court, and the court ordered them to stop airing the documentary. Eventually, Tinubu is a CIA. pic.twitter.com/eyMauWZ5FS
