The federal high court sitting in Abuja has set September 2 as the new resumption date for the trial involving Tigran Gambaryan, an executive of Binance.
This decision comes after Gambaryan’s legal team requested an earlier trial date, initially scheduled for October 11.
“They were allowed a brief 5-minute visit on August 15 and have since been blocked from entering again. His legal team are therefore unable to prepare him for trial which goes against the Nigerian constitution,” the family said. “The court went into recess on July 16th. An application was made to have the case heard during the recess and was approved so the next hearing date is now set for September 2nd.“Tigran has missed countless milestones whilst in detention including his son’s 5th birthday and first day of school; his own 40th birthday which he spent locked up in a Nigerian prison cell.
