World’s largest cryptocurrency trade platform, Binance, has raised the alarm over prolonged detention of its officials, Tigran Gambaryan, a U.S. citizen and British-Kenyan Nadeem Anjarwalla, by the Federal Government Nigerian authorities without court order.
In a statement on Thursday, the cryptocurrency platform said its “employees are held in Abuja” by Nigerian authorities despite no court order sanctioning their detention.
“At the court hearing in Abuja today, which was attended by Tigran and Nadeem, the court ruled that after hearing arguments from both parties, they would resume the session on April 5 which is 10 working days from today.
“This ruling came after the original court order to hold Nadeem and Tigran expired on March 12 and a request for a new order was filed by the Nigerian Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. The judge did not grant an extension to this order,” Binance said.
