Take Me In Exchange For My Son, Binance Executive’s Mother Begs FG

Knarik Gambaryan, the mother of detained Binance Executive, Tigran Gambaryan, has
pleaded with the Nigerian government to allow her son to return home, adding that she was ready to exchange herself for her son’s freedom.

The mother stated that her son is innocent of the charges brought against him by the Nigerian government.

Knarik in a statement sent to PUNCH Online on Friday, maintained that her son knows nothing about the allegations.

“He’s innocent, that’s all. But I’m asking, and I’m begging everyone who can help my son: please bring him home. That’s all we need.

“Take me, exchange me for my son; just let him go home! I don’t care what happens to me, just let my son go home!” Gambaryan’s mother was quoted as saying.

Osun Defender reports that Gambaryan, a US citizen and Binance’s Financial Crimes Compliance Chief, was arrested in February 2024 alongside another executive, Nadeem Anjarwalla, upon their arrival in Nigeria.

Their detention followed an investigation allegedly linking Binance to money laundering and terrorism financing.

However, Anjarwalla fled the country and remains in Kenya, where he has not yet been extradited.

Gambaryan is currently on trial alongside his firm, facing money laundering charges, and has been remanded at the Kuje Correctional Centre.
