FG to arraign Binance executives over ‘tax evasion’ on April 4

However, on Thursday, NAN reported the federal government
will charge the three defendants before Emeka Nwite, the presiding judge, at
the federal high court (FHC) in Abuja on a four-count charge.

Despite not being a vacation judge, according to the report,
the chief judge granted the fiat for the judge to oversee the case during
vacation because it is a matter of critical national interest.

The lawsuit comes a month after Anjarwalla and Gambaryan
were detained by the Nigerian authorities.

Anjarwalla and Gambaryan had flown into Nigeria but had
their passports seized by ONSA.

On March 12, Anjarwalla was transferred to a local hospital
after he fell ill while in detention in Nigeria.

However, on March 25, Anjarwalla escaped from custody and
fled Nigeria with a smuggled passport.

Meanwhile, Gambaryan, on March 28, sued Nuhu Ribadu, the
national security adviser (NSA) and the Economic Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC), alleging violation of his fundamental rights.
