The United States has sent a medically equipped aircraft to evacuate the embattled Binance Holdings Limited executive, Tigran Gambaryan from Nigeria.
Tigran Gambaryan was evacuated after the Nigerian government on Wednesday dropped money laundering charges earlier brought against him.
The US National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan revealed that Gambaryan’s release was a result of “less confrontational” conversations between Nigeria and the US officials, according to The New York Times.
“A plane equipped with medical equipment departed Nigeria’s capital, Abuja to bring him back to the US for needed medical attention”, he stated.
The embattled Binance executive was arrested during a business trip to Nigeria in February, and held at the Kuje Correctional Centre in Abuja since April.
On Wednesday, October 23 2024, Nigeria’s anti-corruption agency dropped the money laundering charges against Gambaryan.
