Binance, a cryptocurrency platform, has reacted to the report that one of its detained employees, Nadeem Anjarwalla, escaped from custody in Nigeria.
The spokesperson for Binance confirmed Anjarwalla’s escape
in a statement sent to the DAILY POST on Monday.
Anjarwalla, Binance’s Africa regional manager, escaped from
custody on March 22, 2024, from an Abuja guest house, where he and his
colleague, Tigran Gambaryan, were detained for alleged tax evasion.
Reacting to the development, Binance said the safety of
Anjarwalla remains their top priority.
The firm stressed that it is working with the Nigerian
authorities to resolve the issue quickly.
“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 resolve this issue
quickly”.
The two Binance executives were detained by the office of
the National Security Adviser from last February 2024.
Recall that trouble started for Binance when it was
restricted from operating in Nigerian cyberspace from February 21, 2024.
The development led to Binance discontinuing its services on
Naira from March 8.
