BINANCE EXEC. ESCAPES FROM NIGERIAN CUSTODY AMID CHARGES....😱😱

As reported by Bitcoinist, One of the two senior executives from crypto exchange Binance has escaped from the Nigerian authorities as criminal charges were pressed against him. The executive was first detained on February 26 as part of Nigeria’s actions against the exchange.

Nadeem Anjarwalla, one of the two detained Binance executives, escaped from the government’s custody almost a month after his detention. According to the report, the executive fled the country on March 22.

After the detention, Anjarwalla remained in custody at an Abuja guest house with Tigran Gambaryan, who was also detained. On Friday, guards on duty took the now-fugitive to a nearby mosque “for prayer in the spirit of the ongoing Ramadan fast.” However, Anjarwalla escaped and allegedly flew out of Abuja on a Middle East Airline.

The executive, who holds dual British and Kenyan citizenship, had his passport confiscated during the detention,

The investigation has unveiled that the Anjarwalla fled the country with his Kenyan passport. Nonetheless, how he got access to this passport remains a mystery to authorities as he only carried his British travel document when detained in February.

As per the reports, that the guest house where the Binance executives were held was “comfortable” and “allowed many rights.” The phone privileges are now believed to have been exploited by Anjarwalla to plot his escape.

A Binance representative confirmed to CNBC that the exchange is aware of the situation and affirmed that they are collaborating with Nigerian authorities on the matter..
