The decision to launch a probe into the incident was prompted by a motion of urgent national importance introduced by Hon. Dennis Okafor.

Nadeem Anjarwalla, a key executive of the cryptocurrency exchange platform Binance, made headlines after his sudden escape on March 22, 2024, under questionable circumstances.

“The motion was swiftly adopted by the lawmakers, signalling a unified concern over the security breach and its implications for justice and corporate accountability in Nigeria,” the House stated.

Furthermore, Hon. Okafor urged relevant House committees to delve into the escape and prosecute those responsible for potential misconduct or negligence by the detention personnel.

“The investigation aims to uncover the sequence of events that allowed for such a high-profile detainee to escape,” the House emphasized.
