Binance Executive Nadeem Anjarwalla Arrested in Kenya, Faces Extradition to Nigeria
The Kenya Police Service has made a significant breakthrough in the case involving Binance executive, Nadeem Anjarwalla, as he has been arrested and is set to be extradited to Nigeria within the week. This development comes after Anjarwalla had fled from lawful custody in Nigeria, prompting a joint effort between various law enforcement agencies to bring him to justice.
Government sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed the arrest of Anjarwalla by the Kenya Police Service and his impending extradition to Nigeria by INTERPOL. The Federal Government had previously traced Anjarwalla to Kenya, where he had been hiding since his escape from Nigeria.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, along with the International Criminal Police Organisation, the Nigeria Police Force, and the Kenyan Police Service, have been working tirelessly to ensure Anjarwalla’s extradition. The EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, emphasized the importance of bringing Anjarwalla back to Nigeria to face charges related to tax evasion, currency speculation, and money laundering.
The collaboration between these agencies, including INTERPOL, the FBI, and the governments of the UK, Northern Ireland, and Kenya, highlights the international effort to hold Anjarwalla accountable for his alleged crimes. As the clock winds down to his arraignment in absentia, the authorities are determined to bring him back to Nigeria to face justice. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
