The Federal Government has denied the report-making round that the Binance Executive, Tigran Gambaryan is being held in unsavoury prison conditions in Nigeria, and his health is deteriorating.
A statement signed by the Minister of Information and National Orientation Mohammed Idris described the allegation as false and should be ignored.
Idris said Gambaryan is being held in lawful detention and has access to quality medical care whenever required. The Minister also added that the Binance Executive has full access to consular services from his home government.
“The Federal Government will not do anything to jeopardize his fundamental rights to lawful trial, and to quality care, including healthcare, even as he undergoes trial by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“It is worth reiterating that his detention is a court-ordered one, and only the court can alter the terms or direct his release.
“The Federal Government of Nigeria will continue to follow due process in its quest to bring Binance to justice — a legitimate sovereign quest that is similarly being pursued in several other countries around the world.
“This adherence to legal and diplomatic standards underscores Nigeria’s dedication to upholding justice and maintaining the integrity of its judicial processes. The executive is being treated with the utmost fairness, and his legal and human rights are being protected throughout the judicial proceedings”, the statement reads.
