Wives of Detained Binance Executives write Nigerian Government
The wives of two Binance employees detained by the Nigerian government have issued a heartfelt plea to the federal authorities, urging them to release their spouses.
Tigran Gambaryan and Nadeem Anjarwalla, both employees of Binance, have been held by Nigerian authorities in a guarded location for the past three weeks. The two individuals were arrested upon their arrival in the country on February 26th, following a series of meetings in Abuja to which they had been invited by the Nigerian Government.
Tigran Gambaryan, an American citizen, serves as the Head of Financial Crime Compliance of the Binance Security & Investigations Team, while Nadeem Anjarwalla, a British-Kenyan citizen, holds the position of Regional Manager of Binance for East and West Africa.
During a court hearing in Abuja on Thursday, attended by both Tigran and Nadeem, the court ruled to adjourn the session until April 5th after hearing arguments from both parties.
This decision followed the expiration of the original court order to detain Nadeem and Tigran on March 12th, with no extension granted by the judge.
Throughout their detention, the families of Tigran and Nadeem have fervently appealed to Nigerian authorities for their release. With Nadeem’s son celebrating his first birthday tomorrow and Tigran’s son turning five on April 5th, the wives expressed anguish over the prospect of their husbands missing these significant milestones in their children’s lives.
Elahe, wife of Nadeem Anjarwalla, expressed her devastation, stating, “I was holding on to the hope that Nadeem would be home in time to celebrate our son’s first birthday together, and I am devastated this won’t be happening.”
She implored the Nigerian authorities to allow Nadeem and Tigran to return home while discussions with Binance continue, and called on the British and Kenyan governments to intervene.
Yuki, wife of Tigran Gambaryan, echoed similar sentiments, emphasizing the impact of her husband’s prolonged absence on their family. She appealed for Tigran’s release, citing his contributions to law enforcement efforts in ensuring the safety and integrity of cryptocurrencies.
Both wives pleaded earnestly for the release of their husbands, stressing the emotional toll of their prolonged separation on their families.
The heartfelt appeal from the wives underscores the urgency and gravity of the situation, urging swift action from the Nigerian government to reunite the detained executives with their families.
