A request by a certain Aaron Greenspan to compel US security agencies to immediately divulge information, including documents to him concerning President Bola Tinubu, was denied by the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.
Greenspan’s request was denied by Judge Beryl A. Howell on the grounds that he did not meet the necessary requirements in his Monday move for an emergency hearing, which was the basis for her decision.
Greenspan had filed the emergency motion seeking to compel the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys (“EOUSA”), the Department of State, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Internal Revenue Service, Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Central Intelligence Agency to immediately release of the documents in view of yesterday’s hearing of appeals by Atiku and Obi by the Supreme Court.

He pleaded for a quick release of the documents as, according to him, they are needed to be presented at the Supreme Court.
Greenspan told the U.S court that the Supreme Court deliberately moved the hearing of the appeals by Atiku and Obi to yesterday to render his suit before the U.S court nugatory.
He had asked that the documents on Tinubu be released to him latest October 31.
In the civil suit, with number: 23-1816 Greenspan is also asking for similar information and documents on Mueez Adegboyega Akande, who is said to have died as of November 16, 2022.
In rejecting his motion for immediate release of the documents, the U.S court.said Greenspan failed to convince the court the public issues that will cause it to overlook the privacy rights of President Tinubu.
