Atiku on fishing expedition, Tinubu tells US court | The Nation Newspaper

has urged the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division to reverse the order asking the Chicago State University to release his academic records to a political opponent, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party .

He said: “The discovery sought here, with one narrow exception, is not ‘for use’ in the pending appeal, and the Nigerian courts were unequivocally hostile to the discovery. Tinubu faulted Atiku’s argument that the order by Magistrate Gilbert was not final because it was made in furtherance of an underlying suit, contending that it was final and required a review de novo.

He noted that “related proceedings,” as stated by Atiku, “are not the proceedings the application is based upon, and applicant cannot invoke Section 1782 for other proceedings.” He contended that Atiku’s insistence in being allowed access to his academic records showed that he lacks an understanding of the effect of the decision by the Nigerian court.
