 Binance Executive Arrested in Kenya for Evading Nigerian Authorities


Kenyan police have detained Nadeem Anjarwalla, an executive of Binance, who fled Nigeria, as efforts intensify for his extradition to face charges in Nigeria. 


Government sources, preferring anonymity, disclosed that Anjarwalla's arrest was made by the Kenya Police Service, with plans underway for his return to Nigeria through the International Criminal Police Organisation (INTERPOL) within the week.


According to sources close to the matter, "Binance executive, Nadeem Anjarwalla, has been apprehended by the Kenya Police Service, and arrangements are being made for his extradition to Nigeria by INTERPOL."


This development comes after the Federal Government tracked Anjarwalla to Kenya following his escape from lawful custody in Nigeria. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), along with international partners, including INTERPOL, the Nigeria Police Force, and the Kenyan Police Service, are in discussions to expedite Anjarwalla’s extradition.


An earlier report revealed that Anjarwalla went into hiding upon arrival in Kenya, prompting joint efforts between Nigerian and Kenyan authorities to locate and return him to Nigeria for prosecution.


EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, confirmed that efforts were underway to extradite Anjarwalla in collaboration with INTERPOL, the United States’ Federal Bureau of Investigation, and other international partners. Olukoyede emphasized the charges against Anjarwalla, including tax evasion, currency speculation, and money laundering, stressing the commitment to curbing distortions and disruptions in Nigeria’s forex market.


He added, “While Gambaryan is currently in the Commission’s net, the process of extraditing the fleeing Anjarwalla is revving in full swing. Involved in partnership with the EFCC to nick Anjarwalla in flight are the International Criminal Police Organisation, the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation, the governments of the United Kingdom, Northern Ireland, and Kenya as the clock winds down to his arraignment in absentia alongside the company and Gambaryan.”
