Binance CEO Calls Gambaryan’s Treatment ‘Inhuman’ As Disturbing New Video Emerges !!
Yesterday, Binance CEO Richard Teng made an X post demanding the immediate release of Tigran Gambaryan, the Binance executive who has been detained in Nigeria since February.
The post comes shortly after a video posted on the platform showed the harsh treatment of Gambaryan while being escorted to court after his trial date was brought forward to Sept. 2nd
Specifically, the video shows Gambaryan limping into an Abuja courtroom while dragging his left leg behind him. Prison authorities appear to have denied his request for a wheelchair.
The video also shows Gambaryan pleading with a prison guard escorting him into the courtroom for help walking.
Gambaryan’s lawyers filed a new application for bail on medical grounds yesterday. A prosecutor for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) reportedly opposed the bail application, arguing that Gambaryan was not, in fact, in ill health and claiming he was refusing treatment.
