Binance CEO Presses For Political Intervention To Free Exec Jailed In Nigeria
Binance is appealing to the US government and global organizations for political pressure on Nigeria to release Tigran Gambaryan, a detained executive for six months. Gambaryan, a US citizen, is reportedly suffering from severe physical and mental health issues due to inadequate medical care and lack of legal counsel. Despite a court order for his medical records, Nigerian authorities have not complied. Binance claims the allegations linking the exchange to Nigeria's economic problems, including the Naira's decline, are baseless. The company is urging the US to classify Gambaryan as unlawfully detained to enhance pressure for his release. Binance expresses willingness to collaborate with Nigeria on Web3 development after resolving Gambaryan's situation. Currently, Binance's token BNB is trading at $552, down nearly 2% in the last 24 hours.
