The controversy surrounding the alleged drug-peddling past of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has taken a new turn.

A social media post by a self-acclaimed investigative journalist revealed that President Tinubu had been convicted of narcotic crimes and credit card scam.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is battling legal issues over the authenticity of his academic records at the Chicago State University.

The post alleged that Tinubu was sentenced to a combined five years imprisonment on two separate spells with a different name, Yekini Amoda Sangodele.

He wrote: "...Bola Tinubu spent a combined five years in U.S Jail as Yekini Amoda Sangodele for the two times he went in for narcotic crimes and credit card fraud in the late 60s and early 1970s.

"He was thereafter deported to Nigeria, in what is documented in the FBI files, according to U.S sources."

Countering the allegations of the journo, another social media post on X by @ReneRodrig1142 said the findings of the investigative journalist were false. He stated that his findings revealed that the name 'Yekini Amoda Sangodele' did not appear in the US database.

He wrote: "I searched the entire US database and couldn't find the name Yekini Amoda Sangodele or even Amoda Sangodele. But guess what??"

Accompanied by screenshots, he revealed that the name "Bola Ahmed Tinubu" was found in the US database with a clean slate and no criminal records.

@ReneRodrig1142 wrote: "I searched the name Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and it came out clearly, even showing his spouse as Remi Tinubu. No single criminal record was on the report."
