Despite the expiration of their detention order, Nadeem Anjarwalla who is a prominent figure within the cryptocurrency industry and an executive at Binance, find himself ensnared in a legal quagmire within Nigeria. Typically, detention orders are granted for a specific period, after which authorities must seek extensions. Failure to do so renders the detention unlawful. In this case, the Abuja court issued a 14-day detention order, expiring on March 12.
Despite the lapse, Nadeem Anjarwalla continues to be held alongside Tigran Gambaryan, another executive of Binance, detained in Nigeria. Both executives had traveled to Nigeria at the invitation of the government and were detained after meetings with officials. The Nigerian Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is responsible for their detention.
Families’ Anguish Over Unanswered Pleas for Release
The families of Nadeem Anjarwalla and Tigran Gambaryan express mounting anguish as their pleas for the release of the detained executives remain unanswered. Despite reaching out to diplomatic missions and government agencies, their efforts have yielded no tangible results. Elahe Anjarwalla, Nadeem’s wife, voices grave concerns over his well-being, citing limited access to medical care and legal counsel.
She laments the emotional toll of Nadeem’s absence, particularly missing their son’s first birthday celebration on March 21. The families emphasize Nadeem’s and Tigran’s roles within Binance, asserting that they lack the authority to make high-level decisions and merely implement directives from their superiors. Urging Nigerian authorities to prioritize their release, the families implore the Kenyan and British governments to intervene and expedite the executives’ return home.
