The Kenya Police Service has reportedly arrested Nadeem Anjarwalla, the Binance regional manager for Africa.
According to Punch, the international
criminal police organisation (Interpol) is working towards extraditing
Anjarwalla to Nigeria within the week.
On March 22, Anjarwalla escaped from an Abuja guest house
where he and Tigran Gambaryan, his colleague, had been kept by the federal
government.
Anjarwalla was said to have escaped after guards led him to a nearby mosque for prayers in the spirit of the Ramadan fast.
The Binance regional manager was said to have fled Nigeria
on a Kenyan passport.
Anjarwalla and Gambaryan were charged with tax evasion and
money laundering by the federal government. The duo were arrested and detained
on February 28.
Punch reported that government sources familiar with the case
confirmed Anjarwalla’s arrest.
“Binance executive,
Nadeem Anjarwalla, has been arrested by the Kenya Police Service, and he would
be extradited to Nigeria this week by INTERPOL,” one source was quoted as
saying.
Gambaryan, Binance’s head of financial crime compliance, is
currently in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)
after having his day in court.
Recently, Yuki, Gambaryan’s wife, appealed to the federal
government to release her husband, saying he has no influence on Binance’s
corporate decisions.
