A U.S. lawmaker is calling for the release of a detained Binance executive in Nigeria. Representative James Hill believes the executive, Tigran Gambaryan, has significantly contributed to combating cybercrime in the U.S. and should not be abandoned. Hill expressed concern that the continued detention could strain diplomatic ties between the U.S. and Nigeria. Hill urged President Biden to push harder for Gambaryan’s release, highlighting Nigeria’s removal from the religious freedom list and the signed commercial and investment partnership. Hill criticized Nigeria’s handling of the situation, warning that it could jeopardize the U.S.-Nigeria relationship. He expressed frustration with the detention, calling it “embarrassing” and emphasizing that Gambaryan is not directly involved in the dispute.
