Binance exec on the run: Nigeria government pursues extradition from Kenya
The Nigerian government has located Binance executive Nadeem Anjarwalla in Kenya after he escaped custody.
The government is now hoping to bring him back to Nigeria.
Punchng.com, citing sources within the Nigerian presidency working on the case, confirmed that Anjarwalla’s whereabouts in Kenya are known.
Efforts are underway to coordinate with Kenyan authorities to return him to Nigeria.
Anjarwalla is believed to have reached Kenya and hid to evade the authorities.
He is alleged to have committed money laundering, tax evasion, and currency speculation to the tune of $35.4 million. The charges prompted collaborative efforts between Nigerian agencies like the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the Nigeria Police, the Kenyan Police, and Interpol.
Furthermore, Punch highlighted the EFCC’s ongoing collaboration with international agencies, including the FBI and UK, Northern Ireland, and Kenyan authorities, to address the allegations.
