A former aide to the 2023 Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, Phrank Shaibu, has mocked President Bola Tinubu over the escape of one of the detained Binance executives.
Shaibu said Tinubu has ridiculed Nigeria by transforming the
country’s detention centres into amateur magician training grounds.
Recall that Nadeem Anjarwalla, Binance’s Africa regional
manager, and Tigran Gambaryan, were initially detained upon their arrival in
Nigeria on February 26, 2024, on allegations of tax evasion and other charges.
Following Binance’s non-compliance with a court order demanding data on Nigerian traders, the duo’s detention was extended to prevent evidence tampering.
But Anjarwalla managed to flee on Friday, March 22, from a
guest house in Abuja where he and his colleague were being held.
It was learnt that the escape occurred when guards allowed
him to visit a nearby mosque for Ramadan prayers.
The dual British-Kenyan citizen is believed to have left
Abuja aboard a Middle Eastern airline, raising questions about his departure
despite Nigerian authorities holding his British passport.
Reacting, Shaibu in a post on X, said Anjarwalla’s escape
was another riveting episode of what he called “Nigeria’s Got Escapes”.
He wrote: “Another riveting episode of ‘Nigeria’s Got
Escapes,’ brought to you by the @officialABAT administration! Detained Binance
executive pulls off a vanishing act right under their noses?
“Bravo, @officialABAT, for transforming our detention
centres into amateur magician training grounds! Who needs security when you can
provide a thrilling escape room experience for all detained executives?
“Stay tuned for the next episode: “Escape from Nigeria: The
Sequel” or ‘Nigeria’s Got Talent: The Fugitive Edition.”
