Binance Executive Who Escaped Custody Found in Kenya: Government Sources

The dramatic escape of Mr Nadeem Anjarwalla, a Binance executive, from custody in Nigeria has finally come to an end as he has been found in Kenya by the Federal Government of Nigeria. Anjarwalla had been on the run since his escape in Abuja on March 22, sparking a massive manhunt involving key law enforcement agencies.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol), the Nigeria Police Force, and the Kenyan Police Service have all been involved in the search for Anjarwalla. A source in the presidency confirmed the development, stating that efforts are underway to expedite his extradition back to Nigeria.

The escape of Anjarwalla has been linked to allegations of economic sabotage, with accusations that Binance was manipulating the country’s foreign exchange market. The government has been cracking down on the company, with the chairman of the anti-graft agency announcing collaboration with international authorities to bring Anjarwalla to justice.

The Central Bank of Nigeria Governor had previously stated that over $26 billion had been funneled through Binance without a trace, leading to the institution of charges against the company and its executives. The government’s sustained crackdown on Binance highlights the seriousness of the situation and the efforts to prevent further economic harm.

The capture of Anjarwalla in Kenya marks a significant development in the case, and the extradition process will be closely monitored as the Nigerian government seeks to hold those responsible for economic crimes accountable. Stay tuned for more updates on this unfolding story.
