Binance CEO Calls for Unconditional Release of Tigran Gambaryan from Nigeria

After more than two months of impasse between the Nigerian government and Binance Holdings Ltd, CEO Richard Teng has broken the silence and urged the West African nation to unconditionally release Tigran Gambaryan. In a blog post on Binance today, Teng highlighted the plight faced by Gambaryan in Nigerian detention. Furthermore, Gambaryan has spent more than 70 days in Nigerian detention without access to his family.

“To invite a company’s mid-level employees for collaborative policy meetings, only to detain them, has set a dangerous new precedent for all companies worldwide,” Teng noted.

As Coinspeaker previously reported, Gambaryan was accompanied by Nadeem Anjarwalla, head of Binance in Africa, who later fled Nigeria during the Ramadan celebrations.
