Kenya Police Service to Extradite Binance Executive Nadeem Anjarwalla to Nigeria Within the Week

The Kenya Police Service is expediting moves to extradite fugitive Binance executive, Nadeem Anjarwalla, to Nigeria within the week, following his arrest in Kenya. Anjarwalla had escaped from lawful custody in Nigeria in March and was tracked down in April by a team comprising operatives from various law enforcement agencies.

Anjarwalla, who is the regional manager for Binance in Africa, had fled Nigeria using a smuggled Kenyan passport, according to the Office of the National Security Adviser. Government officials familiar with the case revealed that Anjarwalla is currently detained by the Kenya Police Service and is expected to be extradited to Nigeria soon.

The arrest of Anjarwalla was based on an extradition request approved by INTERPOL Nigeria and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. Sources within the government confirmed that Anjarwalla will be extradited to Nigeria this week.

The Federal Government had previously traced Anjarwalla to Kenya after his escape from custody in Nigeria. Following this development, discussions between the relevant law enforcement agencies have intensified to ensure a swift extradition process.

Anjarwalla, whose cover has now been blown, had gone into hiding upon his arrival in Kenya. The collaboration between the Kenya Police Service, INTERPOL, EFCC, and Nigeria Police Force highlights the commitment to bringing Anjarwalla to justice for his alleged crimes.
