According to Foresight News, Cointelegraph reported that the wife of detained Binance executive Tigran Gambaryan expressed confusion that Nigerian law enforcement agencies could not release her husband. "Nigerian authorities should do the right thing now and release my innocent husband. Tigran Gambaryan and my own taxes are sent to Nigeria every year as aid, and Nigeria should be our ally. I refuse to believe that the State Department can't do more to release an innocent American citizen."
