US political leaders are pressuring President Joe Biden to get in the case of Tigran Gambaryan, a Binance executive who is being held in Nigeria, amid growing hostilities between Binance and Nigerian authorities. It has been stated that Gambaryan is suffering from malaria and is not receiving proper medical care, which raises concerns for his health.

The Call for Action

The demand for Gambaryan’s release reflects concerns over his health and the legality of his detention. US politicians assert that Nigerian authorities have levied unfounded charges against Gambaryan, adding weight to the call for his immediate release.

Tigran Gambaryan and Nadeem Anjarwalla, executives of Binance were detained by Nigerian police in late February 2024 on suspicion of Binance’s involvement in an illicit $26 billion transaction. The executive’s passports were seized, and he was placed under arrest.

The case of Tigran Gambaryan represents a shift from diplomatic tensions to humanitarian advocacy, while the broader Binance-Nigeria dispute remains unresolved, the focus on Gambaryan’s health and legal rights emphasizes the human dimension of the conflict.

Gambaryan collapsed in court last week when he was brought in for his trial because of serious health issues. The executive’s illness was later suspected to be malaria. Yuki Gambaryan, the spouse of Gambaryan, filed a complaint alleging that her husband was not receiving proper care from Nigerian authorities, even after a court order.
