Binance CEO Richard Teng has said that Tigran Gambaryan, a former U.S. federal agent working for Binance, has been unjustly detained in Nigeria for six months. Teng reiterated claims that Gambaryan’s physical and mental health has deteriorated significantly while in detention. The CEO criticized the Nigerian government’s justification for detaining Tigran as baseless. He also rejected claims that Binance is responsible for the decline of the Naira and accusations that the crypto exchange platform has been operating illegally. Teng urged the U.S. government to designate Tigran as an unlawfully detained citizen and use its political influence to secure his release. The CEO said Binance aims to contribute to the development of the Web3 industry in Nigeria once Gambaryan has been released from detention.
