The Kenya Police Service has arrested fleeing Binance executive, Nadeem Anjarwalla, as the International Criminal Police Organisation moves to extradite him to Nigeria within the week.

Government sources familiar with the case who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to speak on the matter confirmed the development to our correspondent on Sunday night.

One of the sources said, “Binance executive, Nadeem Anjarwalla, has been arrested by the Kenya Police Service, and he would be extradited to Nigeria this week by INTERPOL.”

Another source noted, “As we had said before that Anjarwalla would be extradited, he has been arrested in Kenya, and he’ll be extradited to Nigeria this week.”

The PUNCH had exclusively reported that the Federal Government had traced Anjarwalla to Kenya, following his escape from lawful custody in Nigeria.

Following the development, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, the International Criminal Police, the Nigeria Police Force, and the Kenyan Police Service have deepened talks to quicken Anjarwalla’s extradition.

In the earlier report, Saturday PUNCH reported that Anjarwalla, whose cover has now been blown, went into hiding immediately after he landed in Kenya.


“We have found him. We know where he is; he is in Kenya, and we’re working with the authorities to bring him back to Nigeria.

“All hands are on the deck, the government and all the security agencies are working hard in conjunction with the Kenyan authorities and INTERPOL, to ensure his return to Nigeria to face the charges brought against him,” the report had quoted a source as saying.

Meanwhile, the EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, had in the March edition of its bulletin titled, “EFCC Alert,” onfirmed that the commission was working in conjunction with the International Criminal Police Organisation, the United States’ Federal Bureau of Investigation, the governments of the United Kingdom, Northern Ireland, and Kenya to extradite Anjarwalla.

Olukoyed said, “The takeover of the prosecution of Binance chiefs by the commission is no less a strong message in the direction of EFCC’s resolve to hedge in distortions and disruptions in the country’s forex market.

“Tax evasion, currency speculation, and money laundering to the tune of $35,400,000 and are at the foundation of the Commission’s five counts against Binance Holdings Limited, Tigran Gambaryan and Nadeem Anjarwalla, the company’s chief executives.

“While Gambaryan is currently in the Commission’s net, the process of extraditing the fleeing Anjarwalla is revving in full swing. Involved in partnership with the EFCC to nick Anjarwalla in flight are the International Criminal Police Organisation, the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation, the governments of the United Kingdom, Northern Ireland, and Kenya as the clock winds down to his arraignment in absentia alongside the company and Gambaryan.”

Obasanjo is actually very close to Kenya government

Like Nnamdi Kanu, he would be bundled to Nigeria. Kenya has been helping big brother Nigeria alot.

Did he not ask questions?

I dont know why Nigerians will pray for bad things to happen to Nigeria just because their candidate didnt win

A new Sheriff is in town, his name is Emilokan Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu Jagaban Omo Alhaja Abibatu Mogaji

Mumu country that doesn’t export a dime is busy blaming crypto companies for their woos


Foreign reserve go soon finish and una go blame IMF

I knew that the loss of three consecutive Presidential elections made Zombients to develop psychiatric disorders and mental instability, but I didn't know that millions of them have slipped into depression and suicide

It's a form of mental disorders arising from generational inherited curse

No dey leak secrets nah. Mazi Simon Ekpa too is planning to run to Kenya

I really feel for that guy. Nobody wants to be in his shoes at all as a company staff. If he had known,... if only he had known. 😁

I hope the binance company is really paying this guy for all this occupational hazard and plenty wahala.

Till now our dear government has not told us who helped the guy to escape so that the general public can take note and blacklist such a fellow from employment.

We Don hear

Kenya Kenya

I reserve my comment.

Fleeing Binance executive might be in prison while we watch another economic crisis due to foreign reserve depletion.

Fine one, my Kenyan brothers

Obasanjo is close to Raila, not Ruto who heads Kenyan government.

When confusion is involved, that's how it goes.


Nnamudi kanu was arrested in Kenya and brought back to the zoo while his colleague is chilling in Finland

Let me repeat again, Obasanjo is close to Kenya government irrespective of who the president is. Uhuru was frequent in Nigeria when he was the president

Obasanjo deliberately lured Raila into AU chair position so that the nonsense Mandamano can stop

Hand don meet anjarwalla

Wailers will soon be here as usual

Propaganda Babablu!

That guy can never be extradited to Nigeria.

You are sad that one of you who tried to escape justice has been caught again and he's about to be brought back to face justice, I get it. I understand your wailing reason. Damn criminals!

I think it is not easy for him. He is likely to be a wanted in many countries

Enemies of Nigeria will now resume their wailing 😩
