27 Sept 2026Corrected — summary — The cited source does not report a tribunal finding of "corruption in 2020 settlement" — that phrase conflated the tribunal's ruling with a separate rhetorical line from Tinubu. Removed; replaced with what the tribunal actually ordered (legal-cost allocation). Also corrected the claim figures to match the source ($680m + $2.7bn+, not "$2.3-3.38bn").
