US Court grants Tinubu’s request to delay release of school records to Atiku

U.S. District Judge, Nancy Maldonado has agreed to stay an order requiring Chicago State University, CSU, to provide certain academic documents of Bola Tinubu, who is now the President of Nigeria. DAILY POST reports.

Magistrate Judge Jeffrey Gilbert had two days ago ordered the CSU to submit the documents by the end of Thursday.

But during an emergency hearing, on Thursday, according to CBS news, Judge Maldonado gave attorneys on both sides an order to file additional arguments by next Thursday.

Lawyers of the Nigerian President argued that Gilbert’s decision needed to be reviewed by a district judge.

And their request was granted by Maldonado, who said she would rule as quickly as possible after that.
