Government demanding from Binance the lists of its Nigerian users

[Mate2237]

EFCC been want arraign the remaining Binance staff wey dey under their custody and the man Gambaryan denied say him no be Binance officer and now EFCC no fit arraign am again because him now no be Binance officer. Him no be their agent and him na CIA him be and not an agent for Binance. So the question now who is winning the case? Nigerian government and her agencies fought the fight from a wrong angle. Dem for no attacked Binance like dat but dem for use policies and the law to hold the down. Now they are on the losing side of the fight.

[Nwada001]

Still on this matter, just few hours ago the Binance executive who was charged to court have been denied all 5 count charges against levied against him.

Nigeria Binance dispute: Cryptocurrency official denies money laundering

There are also rumours that he has been sent to Kuje Prison, a prison known to hold high-level criminals in the country, and he is said to be detained there till further notice.
 
My question still remains the same: what is the government doing to this guy? Is it fair enough? I mean, are they not cashing in the wrong person? As we all know, according to Binance officials, Mr. Gambaryan is not one of the Binance decision-makers, and as such, he has no right to authorise any action. So why not leave this guy and use proper legal ways to go after the right people who should be held accountable for anything relating to money laundering and tax evasion?

I also heard the news today and it was rampant in the social media and other newspaper vendors site. They send am go there to await trial. But me I believe say the man e dey quilty and Binance as we . And when di man was send to prison Binance was not happy. And what Nigeria is doing na good one. Bcos if na Nigerian company do like dis sef dem for do di same thing even more. Ekweremadu him still dey there. But Nigeria dey fight di fight in a wrong way. Dem for us opportunity collect tax well from dem.

Yes it is for because he caught in the company and not in an isolated place and they were manipulating di Naira.

We know say Gambaryan na the wrong guy because no be him dey call the shoots at Binance, him no even dey among the top executives but arresting him na the only way Nigerian government fit hold Binance by the balls. Nigerian government no sabi wetin be legal channel, their name na bully, dem dey show the international community how dem dey take treat their citizens.

Many ways take dey to resolve this issue but dem resort to this. Nigeria na one of the top crypto nations for the world and many exchange dey interested in the Nigerian market. I believe say if to say dem been yan well, the two representatives for relay the message back to Binance but dem dey fear say Binance go exit Nigeria without dropping anything naim make dey use this approach. Our government dey fall our hands, dem suppose ask US how dem take do am with CZ

[Loveday422]

How na? Nawao Nigeria na really a crush scene oh. Na dat dis guy e don escape weti go happen to Di second guy? Di way I dey see this escape na plan work. Well we ni go fit confirm or tok anything about Di escape foe now but let's us be waiting to see weti go happen next. Dis I e now dem fit shutdown the whole exchange in Di country. I also saw Di news on my google chrome newsline and I was about to read it when I got your notification and I left there to come here.  Nigeria Government would have settled dis case with Binance amicably but they prefer dragging it without solution.

Now that one don escape, the second one sef go escape under the SEC watch. Pump and plain SEC don collect something na make dem get Di ododo to escape.

This has nothing to do with the SEC, but you are not wrong that there is insider work. Not only one person but some people among the them made the escape possible.

The second executive will be monitored more than before. I can not say if he can escape or not but it will be more difficult than the first. But I believe there is some plans that we do not know now. Let us see what will happen.

My brother how is it possible that they excape without proper arrengement this country self, Wonder shall never sieze to happen in Nigeria at all,while did they even sieze them for the first place,you sieze foreigners ,maybe the country has passed a serious warning to your so call president if anything should happen to them that Nigerians will finish,I know that will be what will happen.i  laugh in Chinese for them  ;Dmr president

With this that has been happening already, i seem not to believe in everything the government gives as report because most of them are not as the real case is, two people cannot be in custody and one escaped from them and the other left behind, this looks more of being planned, well, am not to judge on that, but we need to see things beyond what we are just hearing from the media on how possible could they be true, except they show us the other detained representative, i will not believe it was only one who escaped.

I guess the government heard a story about a country who use this same pattern to make huge amount of money from binance in their country when they entered their country illegally, but since the incident happened to binance official they reorganize themselves never to fall victims to any government again.

  Since our government has failed to take the right action by bringing the CEO of binance to the round table to negotiate about some of the illegals activities that is be going on in the country with binance, and it has caused their fiat money not to be value in the country.

 I  believe the binance CEO i know will respond to the government in a positive way to find solution to their situation and the government will be happy with binance officials.

[Coyster]

There are also rumours that he has been sent to Kuje Prison, a prison known to hold high-level criminals in the country, and he is said to be detained there till further notice.

The way our government they handle this matter no make sense at all, this is violation of human rights and the charges they have is against Binance and not this individual. Binance don already talk say this man no dey in any decision making position of the exchange, so what is the sense in hodling him back in Nigeria for many weeks now.

That being said, transferring him to Kuje prison is just flat-out crazy (if true), this man came into Nigeria of his own accord, he was not compelled or forced to come into the country, reports have it that they came for negotiations with the government, if we didn't want to negotiate, we should have just turned it down and allowed them return to their country. This whole saga has put Nigeria on the spotlight, but for the wrong reasons as usual.

I agreed with you but according to the news, the one that escaped was kept in the house and it was house arrest so when the Ramadan fasting and praying came, he was also there praying and from there guyman tuama and bypass all the protocol to is country. Really this matter e no dey clear at all. And do you know that it is the American citizen that was left behind? Oya think of it, they are fighting dollar to be reduced and held back the American citizen. What is in your mind?

They want American government to respond and reduce their Currency exchange rate in the country and right now they have send di guy to prison. Nigerian government will never tell the public the truth behind this issue.

FG detains two Binance executives –Report

Two senior executives of Binance were allegedly to have been detained by the federal government. The executive officers flew to Nigeria after Binance website was taken down by the NCC in a way Nigeria can not be able to access the website. Although, the site is still accessible through the mobile app.

The federal government are demanding to see a list of Binance Nigerian users since the exchange inception, a person familiar with the matter said.

Demanding for the list of binance Nigerian users is unjustifiable in this course by the Nigeria federal government in their bid fighting to stabilize the naira value.

 What do they want to use the list of names for?

There's every tendency that at the release of such data from binance into their hands many users will be victimize and unlawful suppressed through the use of government power based on what size of money they have starched in cryptocurrency or stable coin.

There are other legal ways they the government can go about their case with binance and this one isn't one prudent way among many.

[Loveday422]

CZ the owner of binance Will never agree to release any names because if he does that, that's the finish point of his company because I learnt 95% of Nigerians are into binance so if he released the name he has cast his work ,but to me federal government should try their best to put an end of this matter because if really is binance that make Nigeria currency to be high that means it will be put to an end yes,let FG restrict all the users of Bitcoin bbinanc

[Mate2237]

According to the Binance spokesman about the case, he said the charges against Gambaryan who is the Binance staff is  “meritless" and that means the charges are not supposed given to him because he dey innocent of the charges. Therefore it is nonsense for him to be in the Kuje prison or the correctional center. And why Nigeria government dey vex be say, from di outset Binance company refused to collect license for di company so when dem dey shey him dey innocent dey make Nigerian government dey vex well well.

Last last everything go still settle down. Make we dey see weti go happen. Naira still dey high. If na di way hom take fly go up an him for take come down, but now him for don reach 400 naira sef.

[sokani]

And why Nigeria government dey vex be say, from di outset Binance company refused to collect license for di company so when dem dey shey him dey innocent dey make Nigerian government dey vex well well.

No be only Nigeria wey Binance dey operate illegally, Binance no dey registered for Philippines, wetin deir govt do about am? Di govt blacklist binance url and also block deir app on Playstore. Why dem no find somebody to arrest, if binance no say di Filipino market dey important to dem, dem go do di needful. Na wetin I expect from Nigeria govt and no be to resort to dis illegal arrest and bullying, dem dey give us bad name. Even the wife of di detained binance staff don speak out dey discourage foreign investors from coming to Nigeria.

Naira still dey high. If na di way hom take fly go up an him for take come down, but now him for don reach 400 naira sef.

No mata wetin dem do naira no go fall reach 1k.

[Belarge]

EFCC been want arraign the remaining Binance staff wey dey under their custody and the man Gambaryan denied say him no be Binance officer and now EFCC no fit arraign am again because him now no be Binance officer.

Dem for no attacked Binance like dat but dem for use policies and the law to hold the down. Now they are on the losing side of the fight.

Everyone of us go de alright if we de only follow these legit projects and always becoming patient, there's more incoming promising projects, just hold your ground and things go de turn your favour small small. The whole matter tire me, but how man go do na? But to succumb to the current state of the country and pray for am to better. But anyhow e bad reach, Man go still survive.  Regarding this Binance, this is one of the most organized, popular and secure crypto exchange in the world but Nigeria have succeeded in ruining the future plans and it have affected everyone.

The Binance case has been adjourned to May 17.

The tax evasion trial in a Nigerian court involving cryptocurrency exchange Binance and two of its executives has been adjourned to May 17. This delay occurred because the exchange had not yet been formally served with the charges.

Binance has also been charged with money laundering:

In addition to the tax evasion trial, Binance and the executives have also been charged with laundering more than $35 million by Nigeria’s anti-graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), in a trial that will resume on May 2.

Kenyan police arrest Binance executive who escaped from Nigeria

Binance executive, Nadeem Anjarwalla has been arrested in Kenya and there is possibility that he will be extradited to Nigeria.

One of the sources said, “Binance executive, Nadeem Anjarwalla, has been arrested by the Kenya Police Service, and he would be extradited to Nigeria this week by INTERPOL.”

Another source noted, “As we had said before that Anjarwalla would be extradited, he has been arrested in Kenya, and he’ll be extradited to Nigeria this week.”

I no know whether to call this a good news or bad news so. Whichever way so, the binance executive extradition to Nigeria go bring so many questions on how he was able to escape from Nigeria's custody.

The question that will be asked, na who and who aided his escape cos I believe sae so many top politicians and policemen go d highly involved for em escape, which them collect bribe for. However Kenya no be a country to go if you know sae your name d for the black book of the Nigerian government cos you see you, see extradition to Nigeria. For example extradition of Nnamdi Kanu from Kenya to Nigeria

Make we see how this one go play out, whether na to grant am bail, or without bail until em serve for prison for months before he will be released

[Charles-Tim]

I no know whether to call this a good news or bad news so. Whichever way so, the binance executive extradition to Nigeria go bring so many questions on how he was able to escape from Nigeria's custody.

Let us see what will happen. Nnamdi Kanu is an agitator demanding for Biafra nation. Court ordered him after he was released from prison not to appear among many people. He disobeyed and he wanted to be arrested again which made him travel abroad. He was left alone abroad until he traveled to Kenya. Kenya may see it as an offence which led to his extradition to Nigeria. But about Nadeem Anjarwalla, we do not know what will happen yet as they were not wanted when they traveled to Nigeria. I do not know much about law and order but let us see what would happen.

First thing, the Nigerian government are not being professional at all by any means, because i see no reason why they will have this same business executive escaped through the boarder down to Kenya without any clew when we have all the securities available, yet he escaped from Nigeria down to Kenya before he was later been apprehended by the Authorities in Kenya, this gives me thoughts if we are actually safe and being secured at all or we are been deceived instead by the security operatives and government, if something like this could actually happened.
