 Court Orders NCoS To Provide Binance Chief With Wheelchair


A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered officials of the Nigerian Correctional Service from Kuje to provide the detained executive of Binance Holdings Limited, Tigran Gambaryan, with a wheelchair.


Justice Emeka Nwite issued the order on Monday following a complaint from Gambaryan shortly after the court adjourned.


The Binance chief, who was walking with crutches, abruptly stopped in front of Justice Nwite and lamented that his health had deteriorated since his remand at Kuje due to inadequate medical care.


He admitted to the judge that although he has been living with a herniated disc for the past  12 years, his condition has worsened due to the lack of proper medical attention at the facility.


Gambaryan also mentioned that he now has difficulty walking and would appreciate it if his counsel’s request for a wheelchair was taken seriously.


Justice Nwite questioned the prison official present about why Gambaryan had been denied a wheelchair and subsequently ordered that one be provided which was immediately provided.


The trial was, however, stalled due to the absence of officials of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) who were subpoenaed to produce some documents.


The trial has been adjourned to Wednesday, September 4, 2024.
