The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Messrs Gambaryan and Anjarwalla, in the suits marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/356/24 and FHC/ABJ/CS/355/24, had sued the Office of NSA and EFCC as 1st and 2nd respondents.Mr Gambaryan, a US citizen overseeing financial crime compliance at the crypto exchange platform, in his application, sought a declaration that his detention and seizure of his international travel passport contravened Section 35 and of the Nigerian Constitution.
The official, who sought an order for the respondents to issue a public apology to him, also prayed for the cost of the action on a full indemnity basis. “The only reason for his detention is because the government is requesting information from Binance and making demands on the company,” he said, adding that he was not a member of the Board of Directors of Binance.
