Binance: FG talks tough over Gambaryan’s allegations against Ribadu, others

The Federal Government of Nigeria has expressed concerns over what it described as outrageous allegations, misinformation, and defamatory statements being disseminated by Tigran Gambaryan, an American personnel of Binance.

Gambaryan was recently tried in Nigeria for financial crimes.

Recall that Gambaryan and his fellow, Anjarwalla were detained on February 26, 2024, by the Nigerian government.

While Anjarwalla escaped from custody, Gambaryan was kept in detention and was charged for money laundering by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

This came after the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Olayemi Cardoso, raised the alarm that $26 billion was funneled through Binance without a trace.

But, months after the legal tussle, the Nigerian government dropped charges against Gambaryan and Binance.

In October 2024, the court ordered the release of Gambaryan.
