Their detention is linked to an investigation that allegedly ties Binance to money laundering and terrorism financing.

While Anjarwalla managed to flee Nigeria and remains in Kenya, avoiding extradition, Tigran has been remanded at the Kuje Correctional Centre and is currently on trial along with his firm.

Concerns have been raised by both his family and his employer regarding Tigran’s health during his detention. However, the Nigerian Correctional Service has assured that Tigran is in good health following medical evaluations.
