Jailed Binance Employee's Bail Application Denied Despite Medical Needs

The judge in Abuja denied bail to Tigran Gambaryan, the jailed Binance employee and a U.S. citizen unlawfully detained in Nigeria. Despite meeting all the medical requirements for bail, the judge’s decision contradicts established Nigerian legal precedents. Gambaryan’s health has deteriorated significantly in prison, and he requires medical treatment that the prison cannot provide. His wife expressed frustration and disappointment over the decision, emphasizing his innocence and the need for appropriate medical care. Following the bail decision, the trial against Gambaryan continued with the cross-examination of a Central Bank witness.
