Binance, the global cryptocurrency exchange, has confirmed that its executive, Nadeem Anjarwalla, is no longer held in Nigerian custody.
Samantha Fuller, a spokesperson for Binance, told PUNCH Online that Binance is actively cooperating with Nigerian authorities to swiftly resolve the situation.
However, details regarding Anjarwalla’s departure from Nigerian custody were not provided by the spokesperson.
“We were made aware that Nadeem is no longer in Nigerian custody. Our primary focus remains on the safety of our employees, and we are working collaboratively with Nigerian authorities to quickly resolve this issue,” said Fuller.
IDOMA VOICE reports that the 38-year-old British-Kenyan citizen purportedly fled from the Abuja guest house where he and his colleague, Tigran Gambaryan, were being detained on March 22.
Gambaryan, an American citizen responsible for overseeing financial crime compliance at Binance, and Anjarwalla, serving as Binance’s Africa regional manager with a British-Kenyan background, encountered detainment upon their arrival in Nigeria on February 26, 2024.
