The Federal Government of Nigeria has denied the allegation made by Binance that some officials of the Tinubu administration requested for $150 million bribe.
Rabiu Ibrahim, an aide to the minister of information, Mohammed Idris, in a statement sent to journalists today, said the claim by Binance CEO lacks any iota of substance. 'The facts of this matter remain that Binance is being investigated in Nigeria for allowing its platform to be used for money laundering, terrorism financing, and foreign exchange manipulation through illegal trading.
'The phantom bribe claim is part of an orchestrated international campaign by this company that is facing criminal prosecution in many countries including the United States, to undermine the Nigerian government.
