The Nigerian government is holding Gambaryan in custody for more than 70 days to force Binance executives to pay large fines for devaluing the local currency.
After more than two months of impasse between the Nigerian government and Binance Holdings Ltd, CEO Richard Teng has broken his silence and called on the West African nation to unconditionally release Tigran Gambaryan. In a Binance blog post today, Teng spoke about the plight Gambarian faced while imprisoned in Nigeria. In addition, Gambaryan spent more than 70 days in custody in Nigeria without access to his family.
“Inviting mid-level company employees to joint political meetings only to delay them has set a dangerous new precedent for all companies around the world,” Teng said.
As Coinspeaker previously reported, Gambarian was accompanied by Nadeem Anjarwalla, head of Binance Africa, who later fled Nigeria during Ramadan celebrations.
