The case involving senior Binance executive Nadeem Arjarwalla took a dramatic turn as Nigerian authorities sought his extradition with the help of Interpol and Kenyan police. Arjarwalla, who fled Nigeria under controversial circumstances, was in Kenya after escaping detention in Nigeria where he faced serious charges.

Navigating Legal Issues: Guidance from Binance Management

Nadeem Arjarwalla arrived in Nigeria in February following allegations that Binance, a popular cryptocurrency exchange, had manipulated the Nigerian Naira. He was subsequently detained along with other Binance executives after discussions with Nigerian officials. Nigeria Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Two executives were later charged with five counts of money laundering. But on March 22, Arjarwalla managed to leave Nigeria and board a flight from Abuja on a Middle Eastern airline, despite Nigerian authorities retaining his British passport.

Local media, citing sources within the Nigerian presidency, reported that Arjarwala successfully disappeared upon arrival in Kenya and that his location in Nigeria was pinpointed as the search progressed. Questions remain as to how Arjarwala was able to travel. Authorities are looking into these details, especially given that he had no other travel documents while in custody as he is believed to have fled using a Kenyan passport.

Meanwhile, another detained Binance executive, Tigran Gambaryan, has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him. While Gambarian was detained, his wife started a petition for his release and gathered over 3,000 signatures. His trial was postponed until mid-April.

In this regard, Binance has decided to withdraw from the Nigerian market. On March 5, the company announced that it was suspending all trading involving the Nigerian naira and removed all naira trading pairs from its P2P platform in late February. This decision comes shortly after Nigeria’s central bank governor said cryptocurrency exchanges facilitate illegal trading and particularly highlighted suspicious activity involving Binance.

As this international drama unfolds, the focus is now on the legal proceedings and the broader implications for the cryptocurrency industry in Nigeria and beyond.
