 FEDERAL MINISTRY OF INFORMATION AND NATIONAL ORIENTATION  PRESS STATEMENT  BINANCE FALSE CLAIM ON BRIBERY DIVERSIONARY  The Federal Government of Nigeria is aware of attempts by Binance to launder its impaired image as an organisation that does not play by the rules and laws guiding business conduct in sovereign nations. In a blog post that has now been published by many international media organisations, in an apparent well-coordinated public relations effort, Binance Chief Executive Officer Richard Teng made false allegations of bribery against unidentified Nigerian government officials who he claimed demanded $150m in cryptocurrency payments to resolve the ongoing criminal investigation against the company.  This claim by Binance CEO lacks any iota of substance.

    The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Lagos zonal office, on Wednesday, September 18, 2019, secured the conviction and sentencing of one Okunrobo Osarenren Evans to seven years imprisonment before Justice Mojisola Dada of the Special Offences Court sitting in Ikeja, Lagos.
The convict was arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on October 19, 2017 on a three-count charge bordering on forgery, an offence contrary to Section 363(1) of the Criminal Law of Lagos State of Nigeria, 2011.
One of the counts reads: "That you, Okunrobo Osarenren, on or about the 24th day of August, 2009 in Lagos, within the Lagos Judicial Division, knowingly forged the National Population Commission of Nigeria Certificate of Birth No. 0273682 dated Friday 24th August, 2009 in the name of Okunrobo David and purported same to have been issued by the National Population Commission of Nigeria."
The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge preferred against him by the prosecution, thereby leading to his trial.
During trial, the prosecution counsel, Ufoma Franklin, called four witnesses and tendered several documents that were admitted in evidence by the court.
At the resumed hearing today, the prosecution counsel urged the court to impose maximum sentence on the convict on the grounds that the defendant had wasted the time of the court.
However, counsel to the defendant prayed the court to “temper Justice with mercy”, adding that my client is a first-time offender and has a wife and children to cater for."
In her judgment, Justice Dada said the prosecution had clearly proved its case beyond reasonable doubt with absolute diligence.
Justice Dada, therefore, convicted and sentenced Osarenren to seven years imprisonment on each count.
The sentences are to run concurrently.
