We rejected Gambaryan's $5million bribe, disregard his false allegations - FG by Maxymilliano(op): 7:04am On Feb 15, 2025
Disregard Falsehoods Being Peddled by Tigran Gambaryan against Nigerian Government Officials – FG

The Federal Government of Nigeria notes with concern the outrageous allegations, misinformation, and defamatory statements being disseminated by Tigran Gambaryan, an American personnel of Binance who was recently tried in Nigeria for financial crimes.

While the Federal Government of Nigeria is hesitant to engage Mr. Gambaryan, given the high-level diplomatic intervention that resolved his case, we are obliged to set the records straight to stop his falsehoods from gaining grounds.

The first visit by Mr. Gambaryan and his colleagues to Nigeria was discretional on their part and Government was not officially involved. However, when the attention of the Government was called to an alleged bribery demand during that trip an investigation was immediately opened into it though there was no formal complaint by anyone.

Mr. Gambaryan's second visit to Nigeria was part of a wider probe into the criminal manipulation of the Nigerian currency through peer-to-peer platforms like Binance, but investigators were frustrated by the tactics deployed by Gambaryan and his team.

Mr. Gambaryan was released by the Nigerian government in October 2024 on humanitarian grounds and following a high-level diplomatic intervention that ended with tangible benefits for Nigeria. The government rejected Binance's offer of a $5 million down payment in exchange for Mr. Gambaryan's freedom, in favour of a more beneficial settlement with the American government.

We categorically deny the retaliatory claims made by Mr. Gambaryan against Nigerian officials involved in his case, and we urge the public to disregard these false accusations in their entirety.

It is essential to note that Mr. Gambaryan's allegations are not only unsubstantiated but also lack credibility, given his apparent motive to discredit and intimidate those who ensured he faced justice.

However, we are confident that both the Nigerian and American judicial systems will provide Mr. Gambaryan with a fair opportunity to substantiate his claims in court. Until then, we advise the public to exercise caution and not be swayed by Mr. Gambaryan's unfounded and malicious claims.

Mohammed Idris
Honourable Minister of Information and National Orientation.

If you have money, find way migrate abroad to secure a better future for your children, you see this una Nigeria, it's just a moneymaking marketplace or shop where traders (politicians and the likes) go to make money and then go back to their various homes (abroad) to enjoy with their family members.


Nigeria is not a nation and will never be. Like late Obafemi Awolowo said, Nigeria is just a geographical area, what's keeping Nigeria together is greed for crude oil. If the crude oil dries up, the fake love for one United Nigeria will die a natural death.

Nigeria is just a geographical area created for enriching some people that manage to fight their way to the top and some lucky fellas, but expecting Nigeria to be a functional nation with these deceptive APC politicians is a daydream undecided

Such an explosive revelation should be reacted with a thorough probing, but alas.

The FG is playing defensive like prime Maguire, what is really wrong with this country?
I sympathize with the people who still have hope in this country and its leadership.

Was the allegations from FG against binance true?
Re: We rejected Gambaryan's $5million bribe, disregard his false allegations - FG by malali:
Nigerian government should have had him write a statement and sign prior to letting him go.

These are rookie mistakes.......

Ordinary jobs in America, when they fire you, you will be asked to write a beautiful resignation letter.

After which you will sign NDA.

You guys just released him like that.....lol

You are lucky he is not out saying Tinubu asked him for Gay Sex.

FG said we should ignore, why. If the government knows their hands are clean tell the binance man to show evidence it's as simple as that, all these exchange of words and abuses will rest
