Nigerian govt in talks with INTERPOL for extradition of escapee Binance Director, Anjarwalla

As the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) concludes plans to prosecute executives of crypto-currency firm, Binance Holdings Limited on Thursday, the Federal Government has entered into talks with the International Police Organisation (INTERPOL) aimed at extraditing one of the company’s executives, Nadeem Anjarwall, who escaped from detention in Nigeria on March 22.

Anjarwalla was arrested in February alongside another Binance executive, Tigran Gambaryan, over alleged $35,400,000 money laundering, among other charges.

The two executives were detained in a supposed safe house in Abuja on the order of the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, pending when they would be charged at the Federal High Court, Abuja..
