Amidst the ongoing tension between the Nigerian Government and Binance, Mrs.



Yuki Gambaryan, the wife of Tigran Gambaryan, a detained Binance executive, expressed her distress over her husband's prolonged detention in Nigeria. She urged US Senator Cory Booker and Congresswoman Sara Jacobs, who met with President Bola Tinubu recently, to intervene and secure Gambaryan's release.

In a statement to Naijacrawl on Saturday, Mrs. Gambaryan voiced her concerns, stating, "My husband has been held by the Nigerian government for over 30 days without any formal charges. Instead of engaging in constructive dialogue with Binance, they've chosen to target my husband, holding him as leverage. It's unfair and unjust."

She appealed to the visiting US officials to urge Nigerian authorities to release her husband and pursue any investigations directly with Binance through proper channels.

In February, Tigran Gambaryan, along with his colleague Nadeem Anjarwalla, was detained by Nigerian authorities for alleged financial offenses. While Anjarwalla managed to escape custody on March 22, 2024, Gambaryan remains in detention.

In response, the Nigerian government initiated a manhunt for Anjarwalla. However, Gambaryan took legal action against the Nigerian National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, and the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) over alleged human rights violations.

These developments follow criminal charges filed by the Nigerian government against Binance, implicating Anjarwalla and Gambaryan.
