Binance exec seeks redress over Nigeria detention, demands apology
Gambaryan’s lawyer requested an adjournment for the NSA and EFCC to respond, which was granted by the judge, who postponed the case to April 8.
Binance’s Head of Financial Crime Compliance has asked the Federal High Court in Nigeria to mandate the Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA) and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to issue an apology to him regarding his detention in the country.
According to local reports, Tigran Gambaryan is suing the government for violating his fundamental human rights. Gambaryan’s motion claims that his detention in Nigeria soon after his arrival in February and the confiscation of his passport violates the country’s constitution, which guarantees an individual’s right to personal liberty.
In the lawsuit, Gambaryan disclosed that the federal government is using his ongoing detention “as a means to exert pressure and persist in making requests to Binance.”
