The wife of Nadeem Anjarwalla, an executive at Binance who had reportedly fled Nigeria to Kenya has denied reports that he has been re-arrested and extradited to Nigeria.
Nigerian authorities are currently working with Kenya authorities to bring the executive back to the country.
According to Nigerian sources, the authorities are working with Interpol to extradite Anjarwalla to the country to face charges.
Recent reports stated that he had been arrested in Kenya. However, a spokesperson for Anjarwalla’s wife has dismissed the report of his arrest as false.
Anjarwalla was detained alongside another Binance executive, Tigran Gambaryan, in February, as Nigerian authorities accused the crypto exchange of manipulating the local exchange rate, tax evasion, and money laundering.
Anjarwalla, a British-Kenyan dual national, reportedly fled the country in March using a concealed Kenyan passport. Gambaryan, still in Nigeria, pleaded not guilty to money laundering charges during an April court appearance.
