Justice Emeka Nwite of the Abuja Federal High Court has pushed back the bail application hearing for detained Binance executive Tigran Gambaryan to May 17th. Gambaryan, who has been in Nigerian custody since February, is being held on allegations that Binance engaged in unlawful currency speculation, an act purportedly causing the naira’s depreciation.
At first, Nigerian officials denied reporting the detainment of Gambaryan and Anjarwalla upon their arrival in Nigeria. Later, Anjarwalla was put under house arrest and both were accused of money laundering and tax evasion, leading to their charges.
After Anjarwalla’s getaway in March, Gambaryan was relocated to Kuje prison. Anjarwalla is a citizen of both Britain and Kenya; he managed to flee utilizing his Kenyan identification. He was eventually apprehended in Kenya on the 22nd of April. It is possible that he will be extradited back to Nigeria to answer for the accusations against him.
Gambaryan and Anjarwalla have initiated lawsuits against Nigeria’s National Security Advisor, Nuhu Ribadu, and the Economic Financial Crimes Commission over accusations of human rights violations. These cases are closely watched, as they can set significant precedents for international business and diplomatic relations through the ensuing legal disputes.
