But if he cannot walk due to a spine issue, why wasn't he provided with a wheelchair?

This matter should not be allowed to drag on.

If there is a case, promptly prosecute the fellow and hand him a deserved sentence.

If this guy is lucky to smell freedom, he will never agree to fly over Nigeria, not to talk of even a stop-over.

Nigeria can dehumanize even a non-living thing.

Even US restricted the movement of CZ until they sentenced him and heavily fined him after asking him to step down and CEO

Soon, may of these tech guys will realize that they can't really do anything outside of government control and will have to play ball eventually.
Once they are done Pavel durov and if God will want to punish Elon, Trump will lose and the bloodthirsty hounds will move against him

They played the wrong script for this guy, he was supposed to faint instead, crutches won't move Nigerian government.... He should just faint and pretend to be unconscious so they can fly him out for treatment....

He thinks he is in his country, he's shouting "this is f*cked up"... grin For Nigerian police?🙄 undecided

Nothing is "dragging on". In the US and many other western countries, this kind of investigation must be thorough and detailed. As such the process of arrests,
interrogation, prosecution and trials, could take years before judgement is servedd. If he was responsible for helping any organisation defraud the country, he should face the music. Its that Simple. He's already in court, so he's being "promptly prosecuted". His brother has already absconded from prison. That's dangerous enough.

Some of you become very sympathetic and understanding once the person at the receiving end is either European or American, but become very vicious and ruthless in demanding the most severe treatment/punishment if the target is your fellow countryman from say another region. That's weird. The biggest economic terrorists active in the Nigerian economy today are mainly foreigners. They will be in jail for life if they do half of what they do freely here in their home countries.

We can't move against the owner because USA has locked him up now

So long as Gamgrayan represents Binance in Nigeria, he should answer for their crimes

Judge orders NCoS to give detained Binance chief wheelchair

3rd September 2024
By Deborah Musa


Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court in Abuja, on Monday, ordered the officials of the Kuje correctional facility to provide the detained Binance Holdings Limited executive, Tigran Gambaryan, with a wheelchair.

The order followed an outburst from Gambaryan, shortly after the court adjourned.

Justice Nwite had stepped out of the courtroom for a few minutes before returning to his seat.

Gambaryan, who was walking with crutches, abruptly stopped in front of Justice Nwite and lamented that his health had deteriorated since his remand at Kuje due to inadequate medical care.

He admitted to the judge that although he had been living with a herniated disc for the past 12 years, his condition had worsened due to the lack of proper medical attention at the facility.

Gambaryan also mentioned that he had difficulty walking and would appreciate it if his counsel’s request for a wheelchair was taken seriously.

Justice Nwite questioned the prison official present in court about why Gambaryan had been denied a wheelchair and subsequently ordered that one be provided.

The officials complied and Gambaryan was wheeled out of the courtroom.

Earlier, his counsel, Mark Mordi (SAN), informed Justice Nwite that his client’s health was deteriorating.

He said Gambaryan’s condition had worsened due to the negligence of prison officials and that he could not walk without assistance.

Mordi added that they had requested a wheelchair for Gambaryan, but the prison officials had refused to provide one.

The counsel said his client experienced excruciating pain while making his way into the courtroom using crutches and that a wheelchair would have alleviated such pain.

He further added that a fresh bail application had been filed.

“My Lord, a bail application was filed on August 28 regarding the second defendant’s health condition.

“My client’s health has continued to deteriorate. He couldn’t move without assistance and was crying as he made his way here this morning,” he said

The prosecution counsel, Ekele Iheanacho, responded that he had filed a counter to the application.

He argued that the defendant was exaggerating his illness, adding that the Office of the National Security Adviser had provided a copy of Gambaryan’s health record, which showed that his condition was not as serious as claimed.

Iheanacho added that he was at a loss as to why the prison officials had not presented the health record to the court.

He said Gambaryan had lived with his health condition for the past 12 years without it threatening his life, but now complained about the severity of the illness.

The counsel for the first defendant, Tonye Krukrubo (SAN), told the court that the matter was for the continuation of trial when it was called upon.

He complained that the Central Bank of Nigeria officials who were subpoenaed to bring documents that could be downloaded from their website had not provided the complete set.

“There’s an issue I think we should raise with your lordship. We requested documents from the CBN that should have been downloaded. My Lord remembers that we subpoenaed the CBN, and as of now, I am not aware that they have provided the documents,” he said.

Krukrubo was later handed some documents by the prosecution counsel who said the officials were earlier present and handed them to him and he insisted they were incomplete.

Iheanacho requested an adjournment to allow time to communicate with the CBN about the incomplete documents, suggesting that one or two days should be sufficient to resolve the issue.

In response to the fresh bail application filed by Mordi, Justice Nwite said he was hearing of it for the first time and thus could not address it at that moment.

He, thereafter, adjourned the case until September 4 for continuation of the trial.

Binance, its exchange British-Kenyan regional manager for Africa, Nadeem Anjarwalla, and Gambaryan are facing money laundering charges to the tune of $35m brought against them by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

Gambaryan and Anjarwalla were initially detained by the Office of the National Security Adviser.

However, Anjarwalla fled lawful custody on March 22, 2024, while Gambaryan was transferred from ONSA custody to the EFCC custody and later to Kuje correctional facility, where he is currently being held.

The accused had previously been brought to court in a wheelchair and this made the judge to demand for a medical report.

Nigeria can dehumanize even a non-living thing.
The problem is the arrogance of his employer and his people, who rather than have a negotiated settlement (pay your fine, and have your personnel released), they are there behaving as an imperialists dictating how they want the case handled.
God forbid, if that guy died, nothing, I mean nothing will happen. It's even more dire now because US will not want to lose more friends in West Africa.
