Global Pursuit of Escaped Binance Executive

International Manhunt

Following a dramatic escape from Nigerian custody by a Binance executive at the end of March, the Federal Government of Nigeria has reportedly located the executive in Kenya. Nadeem Anjarwalla, who holds dual British-Kenyan citizenship, was apprehended for tax evasion, along with co-executive Tigran Gambaryan, as part of Nigeria's clampdown on the cryptocurrency exchange. The Nigerian authorities, with international assistance, are pursuing extradition.

Investigation and Extradition Efforts

The Nigerian Federal Government is keen on seeing Anjarwalla face justice, as per local newspaper PUNCH. His location was uncovered during an in-depth investigation by various nations and organizations, including INTERPOL. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is heavily involved, showcasing a commitment to maintaining integrity in Nigeria's financial markets.

Details Yet Uncovered

Despite Anjarwalla's successful escape and current extradition proceedings, not all the details about how he obtained the means to flee and the specifics of his escape have been disclosed. While the investigation has led to the questioning of the guards responsible for his custody, his co-executive, Gambaryan, awaits trial in Nigeria, which is scheduled soon.
