Nadeem Anjarwalla, Binance Executive Fleeing Nigeria, Located in Kenya by Tinubu-led Federal Government
In a dramatic turn of events, Nadeem Anjarwalla, the Binance executive who fled Nigeria, has been located in Kenya by the Tinubu-led Federal Government. This discovery has sparked international collaboration as Nigerian authorities work closely with the Kenyan Police Service to facilitate Anjarwalla’s extradition.
The pursuit of Anjarwalla involves key law enforcement agencies such as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol), and the Nigeria Police Force. These agencies are engaged in detailed discussions to expedite the extradition process and ensure Anjarwalla faces the legal proceedings pending against him in Nigeria.
According to sources within the Presidency, Anjarwalla escaped to Kenya and went into hiding upon his arrival. His whereabouts remained unknown until recent breakthroughs in the investigation revealed his location, marking a significant step forward in the case.
A source stated, “We have found him. We know where he is. He is in Kenya, and we’re working with the authorities to bring him back to Nigeria.” Another source confirmed the collaboration between the Nigerian and Kenyan authorities to ensure Anjarwalla’s return.
The EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, confirmed in the agency’s bulletin that efforts are being made to extradite Anjarwalla with the support of international partners. The charges against Binance Holdings Limited, Tigran Gambaryan, and Nadeem Anjarwalla include tax evasion, currency speculation, and money laundering amounting to $35.4 million.
The Federal Government has initiated the extradition process of Anjarwalla back to Nigeria over the alleged money laundering charges. Special investigators from various security and intelligence agencies are working diligently to ensure national security in this matter.
The EFCC has arraigned Binance Holdings Limited and its executives on money laundering allegations, with Anjarwalla currently at large. The agency has obtained a court warrant to arrest and extradite Anjarwalla, who will be arraigned in absentia alongside his co-accused.
The court documents reveal the charges against Binance Holdings Limited, Tigran Gambaryan, and Nadeem Anjarwalla, including engaging in financial activities without a valid license, money laundering, and tax evasion. The Nigerian government is determined to hold the defendants accountable for their actions.
The collaboration between Nigerian and international law enforcement agencies underscores the commitment to combat financial crimes and ensure justice is served. The extradition of Anjarwalla is a significant step towards holding individuals and organizations accountable for illicit financial activities.
As the case unfolds, the world watches to see how this high-profile extradition will impact the fight against financial crimes and uphold the rule of law.
