Fleeing Binance Executive Arrested By Kenyan Police
The fleeing Binance executive, Nadeem Anjarwalla, has been arrested by the Kenya Police Service.
This is as the International Criminal Police Organisation moves to extradite him to Nigeria within the week.
Anjarwalla was arrested alongside his colleague Tigran Gambrayan on February 26 when they arrived in Nigeria to discuss the government’s decision to block Binance.
While Gambrayan is still in custody and has pled not guilty to money laundering charges, Nadeem escaped from an Abuja guest house where he was held and escaped to Kenya before he was arraigned.
According to a report by Punch, government sources familiar with the case who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to speak on the matter confirmed the development on Sunday night.
One of the sources said, “Binance executive, Nadeem Anjarwalla, has been arrested by the Kenya Police Service, and he would be extradited to Nigeria this week by INTERPOL.”
Another source noted, “As we had said before that Anjarwalla would be extradited, he has been arrested in Kenya, and he’ll be extradited to Nigeria this week.”
