A 2015 documentary exposing the live of Bola Ahmed Tinubu has surfaced on social media.

The expose which was put together and televised by Africa Independent Television AIT hammed on the life and how he acquired his wealth through the coffers of Lagos state.

Tinubu sued the media organisation for N150 Billion but the documentary which was aired on AIT on March 1st 2015, was repeated daily.

In an attempt to stop the broadcast of the documentary, Tinubu brought an ex-parte motion before a Lagos High Court seeking an order of interim injunction restraining AIT whether by itself, agents, privies and or other persons from producing or continuing to broadcast, air or reproduce the documentary.

Although AIT reacted to Tinubu's claim as they described it as laughable and demanded an apology from Tinubu.

Despite his earlier threats with the law, AIT continued to air the documentary.

What is the documentary about?

The AIT's documentary on Bola Tinubu exposed his life as a politician, his dealings and educational background among others.

Tinubu who was the governor of Lagos from 1999 - 2007 on the ticket of the Alliance for Democracy AD, was accused of being a 'looter in chief', engaged in corruption, reckless looting from the treasury of Lagos; although he hides under the disguise of championing democracy.

He was accused of fraudulent activities and being a perpetrator of diabolical needs. All these and more came to the limelight during his tenure as Governor of Lagos state.

His academic qualifications was also challenged, with many wondering why none of his classmates ever came forward to defend him.

Tinubu was said to have gone by the following names in his past; Yekini Amoda Ogunlere, Hamid Sangodele, Adekunle Tinubu or Bobo Chicago.

The documentary described the story of Bola Tinubu as an "Arabian Night Tale", "A modern day Ali Baba and the 40 thieves."

In the video, Tinubu was said to be the infamous Lion of bourdillon, the Jagaban borgu who is arguably the biggest landlord in Nigeria.
