Oh, and about those impossible-to-find court records from Lagos. The Lagos state judiciary's IT systems are run by a company who name appears on the bottom of its public website called First Hightower Infotech Ltd. You can find their website here: https://www.firsthightowerinfotech.com.
There are a few notable facts about First Hightower. You might assume that it's based in Lagos, Nigeria—but you'd be wrong! First Hightower Infotech Ltd. is in fact based in Bowie, MD, in the United States of America, where another separate corporation called First Hightower InfoTech, Inc. is incorporated in Maryland.
Also, you might think that First Hightower Infotech Ltd. has many clients. But it really just seems to have one: the Lagos state judiciary. It's hard to imagine that anyone else would want to hire a company whose website is full of stock photography and "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" fake text. (On another one of the founder's company's websites, there is in fact text that still reads, "I am text block. Click edit button to change this text. Lorem ipsum dolor..." Yes, really.)
You know who else used to be based in Bowie, MD, of all places? The former governor of Lagos: Bola Tinubu. Here's a map showing how long it takes to drive from his old home (which he has since sold) to the home of the founder of First Hightower: about 10 minutes.
I'm sure it's just a coincidence.
