In response to the escape of one of its executives from Nigerian custody, Binance, the popular cryptocurrency exchange platform, has issued a statement.
Last Friday, Nadeem Anjarwalla, one of the detained Binance executives in Nigeria on charges of tax evasion and other offenses, escaped from lawful custody.
Anjarwalla reportedly left the Abuja guest house where he and his colleague were detained after being escorted by guards for prayers at a nearby mosque during Ramadan.
The 38-year-old British citizen, who also holds Kenyan citizenship, is believed to have departed Abuja via a Middle Eastern airline.
Binance confirmed that it received information indicating Anjarwalla’s absence from Nigerian custody.
The exchange emphasized its lack of specific knowledge regarding Anjarwalla’s current location, prioritizing the safety of its staff.
Binance stated its cooperation with local Nigerian authorities to ensure employee safety and resolve ongoing issues with the Nigerian government.
“We have been informed that Nadeem is no longer in Nigerian custody. Our main focus remains the safety of our employees, and we are actively collaborating with Nigerian authorities to promptly address this matter,” the company announced. Reacts To Escape of Executive from Nigerian Custody
