😳🇳🇬 Nigerian Officials Defy Court Order to Hospitalize Binance Exec for Malaria
Binance exec Tigran Gambaryan collapsed in court last week. The court directed prison officials to hospitalize him for treatment, but they have yet to comply.
Last week, a Nigerian judge ordered prison officials to transfer detained Binance executive Tigran Gambaryan to a hospital after he collapsed in court. Despite the court's directive, Nigeria’s Correctional Service has ignored the order, according to Gambaryan’s wife, Yuki Gambaryan, and a government official.
Denied Access to Proper Medical Care
Gambaryan, suffering from malaria and a severe throat infection, remains untreated in a hospital. Instead, he is receiving inadequate care at Kuje Prison’s poorly equipped clinic. Yuki Gambaryan expressed her devastation:
"I am devastated and shocked that, despite the court’s clear directive for his admission to a hospital, the authorities have not allowed him to leave the very prison causing his illness," she said in a statement to DL News.
Prosecutors and Prison Authorities Block Hospital Transfer
The delay in hospitalizing Gambaryan appears to be a strategic move by prosecutors and prison authorities to prevent his transfer to Nizamiye Hospital, a top-tier private medical facility recommended by his lawyers. Instead, there is pressure to transfer him to the closer, yet poorly managed, Kuje General Hospital.
"He has done nothing wrong and is suffering simply because he accepted an invitation to a meeting in Abuja," said Yuki Gambaryan.
A Meeting Gone Wrong
The meeting in February aimed to resolve a dispute between Binance and the Nigerian government over the country's currency issues. Gambaryan and British lawyer Nadeem Anjarwalla, Binance’s Africa manager, were detained after the meeting ended in a deadlock. While Anjarwalla escaped custody a month later, Gambaryan remained imprisoned, facing charges of tax violations and money laundering.
Family's Anguished Pleas
Gambaryan’s ordeal has drawn anguished pleas from his family, who argue that he does not deserve such inhumane treatment. Yuki Gambaryan continues to advocate for her husband's rights and proper medical care.
Nigerian officials must address the urgent medical needs of Tigran Gambaryan and comply with the court's order to ensure his humane treatment.
