The Nigerian government is currently working with Interpol and Kenyan authorities to extradite Nadeem Arjarwalla, a Binance executive who was found in Kenya after escaping custody in Nigeria.

This operation aims to have Arjarwalla answer charges related to allegations of financial misconduct.

Arjarwalla, who initially arrived in Nigeria in February, faced accusations that the cryptocurrency exchange he represented was involved in manipulating the Nigerian naira.

Following a meeting with Nigerian officials, he was detained alongside another Binance executive.

They were charged with five counts of money laundering by Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC).

However, on March 22, Arjarwalla managed to flee. He boarded a flight from Abuja using a Kenyan passport, although his UK passport—which he had used to enter Nigeria—was still held by Nigerian authorities.
