Tinubu’s Govt Speaks On Rearresting Binance Executive, Anjarwalla

President Bola Tinubu’s government has declared there is no hiding place for the fleeing Director of Binance, Nadeem Anjarwalla.

 

 

CityNews Nigeria reported earlier that Anjarwalla escaped from the custody of security operatives in Nigeria and fled the country after the Nigerian Government detained him.

 

Binance issued an official statement on Monday (today) stating that it had been informed that Anjarwalla was no longer in Nigerian custody.

Binance said it does not know Anjarwalla’s specific whereabouts, stressing that it is primarily concerned about the safety of its employees.

It said it is collaborating with local authorities in Nigeria to ensure the safety of its employees and resolve all lingering issues with the Nigerian government.

Speaking, however, on Nigeria’s government effort to get hold of the Binance executive, Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, said the International Police (Interpol) were currently on Anjarwalla’s trial.

According to him, since Binance is an international firm, there is no way Anjarwalla will evade rearrest.

CityNews Nigeria understands that Anjarwalla is a key suspect in the ongoing criminal investigation regarding Binance’s activities in Nigeria.

He, however, managed to escape lawful custody on Friday, March 22nd, 2024.
