Binance Executive Tigran “Can’t Walk” After 6 Months of Nigerian Detention

Key Points:

• Binance employee Gambaryan has been detained in Nigeria for six months, suffering from deteriorating health conditions and a lack of proper medical care.
• Teng is urging the U.S. to label Gambaryan as an “unlawfully detained” citizen and appealing to global citizens to pressure Nigeria for his release.

Binance Executive Tigran Gambaryan, detained in Nigeria for six months, faces severe health issues. Unable to walk due to a hernia, he’s denied medical care and legal access.

Gambaryan has been in custody in Nigeria for six months, during which he reportedly had a sharp decline in his health condition, both physically and psychologically. At the moment, he can’t even walk as a result of a hernia, and he feels a lot of pain, added Binance CEO Richard Teng.

Binance Executive Tigran’s Health Deteriorates in Custody

According to Binance’s statement, the Nigerian government has denied Gambaryan adequate medical care, including a wheelchair. He has also been denied access to his legal representative despite the fact that his trial is scheduled to start on September 2. The Nigerian authorities have also refused to comply with a court order to release Gambaryan’s medical records.

Thus, Teng voiced deep concern about the detention of Gambaryan and possible long-term and irreversible after-effects. The CEO has since called on the government of Nigeria to let Gambaryan back home for treatment on humanitarian grounds.

Calls for Humanitarian Release of Former US Agent

The Nigerian government has justified its action by saying that “Binance is operating virtually. The only thing we have to hold on to is this defendant”. However, Teng argues that there is no need to jail an innocent employee to prove the allegations against Binance.

Additionally, Teng has been calling on the U.S., especially in recent days, to take action andGambaryan as an “unlawfully detained” citizen in a foreign country. He also appealed to the global citizenry to make their voices heard to persuade the Nigerian government to let Gambaryan, a former U.S. federal agent, go home to his family.
