According to ChainCatcher, according to the official blog, Binance CEO Richard Teng said that Tigran Gambaryan, the head of Binance's financial crime compliance who was detained in Nigeria, is innocent and must be released.

It is reported that Tigran Gambaryan went to Nigeria not as a "decision maker" or a "negotiator", but only as an expert in financial crime and policy discussions. Inviting the company's mid-level employees to participate in a cooperative policy meeting and detaining them sets a dangerous new precedent for all companies around the world.
