FG Knocks U.S Lawmakers, Says Binance Executive Has Access To Quality Medical Care

The Federal Government has debunked allegations by two United States lawmakers that the Binance executive, Tigram Gambaryan currently on trial was being held in unsavoury prison conditions in Nigeria, or that his health was deteriorating.

Osun Defender reports that the lawmakers French Hill and Chrissy Houlahan said the detained Binance executive’s health was deteriorating and needed urgent medical attention

The lawmakers after visiting Gambaryan at Kuje prison on Wednesday, Gambaryan was suffering from malaria and double pneumonia, and has reportedly lost significant weight and is being denied adequate medical attention.

The legislators emphasised the urgency of their request, describing the prison conditions as “horrible.”

But the federal government said Tigram Gambaryan rather has access to quality medical care.

In a statement yesterday, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, said; “It has become necessary for the Federal Government of Nigeria to address claims that Binance Executive, Tigran Gambaryan is being held in unsavoury prison conditions in Nigeria, or that his health was deteriorating. We would like to state that these allegations are false and should be ignored.

“Gambaryan is being held in lawful detention and has access to quality medical care whenever required. He also has full access to consular services from his home government.

“The Federal Government will not do anything to jeopardize his fundamental rights to lawful trial, and to quality care, including healthcare, even as he undergoes trial by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It is worth reiterating that his detention is a court-ordered one, and only the court can alter the terms or direct his release.

“The Federal Government of Nigeria will continue to follow due process in its quest to bring Binance to justice – a legitimate sovereign quest that is similarly being pursued in several other countries around the world.

“This adherence to legal and diplomatic standards underscores Nigeria’s dedication to upholding justice and maintaining the integrity of its judicial processes. The executive is being treated with the utmost fairness, and his legal and human rights are being protected throughout the judicial proceedings”.
