One of the two Binance executives held in Nigeria has reportedly escaped from custody, according to a <\/span>local media outlet<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Binance<\/span><\/a> is the world\u2019s largest crypto exchange by trading volume and has faced a rough time in Nigeria over the past several months.<\/span><\/p>\n

Binance exec escapes from Nigeria<\/span><\/h2>\n

Details on Monday claimed that Nadeem Anjarwalla, a 38-year old UK national who has been in detention in Nigeria, escaped via a Middle-Eastern airline. He allegedly used a fake passport to board the flight on Friday, March 22.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sources familiar with the development say Anjarwalla made the escape after he was taken to a Mosque for prayers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nadeem Anjarwalla, the regional manager for Binance in Africa and his colleague Tigran Gambaryan, head of criminal investigations at Binance, were arrested on February 26. Gambaryan is a US citizen.<\/span><\/p>\n

The two execs\u2019 detention followed a crackdown on the Binance crypto exchange by the Nigerian government, amid allegations of currency manipulation as the Naira plummeted.<\/span><\/p>\n

The two officials have been in custody since, with the government demanding the exchange release data on its users from the country. A court in Abuja ordered that Anjarwalla and Gambaryan be held for a further 14 days after Binance refused to comply with the demand.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to local reports, the government has filed a criminal case against Binance, alleging tax evasion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Binance has so far not commented on the latest claims and the reported escape.<\/p>\n
