“Despite a court order from Justice Emeka Nwite issued on Thursday, May 23, Tigran Gabaryan has still not been moved to hospital from Kuje prison,” a family spokesperson for Gambaryan said.

Binance executive Tigran Gambaryan is suspected of having malaria while being detained in a Nigerian jail for over two months on charges of money laundering and tax evasion, according to a family spokesperson. A U.S. citizen, Gambaryan collapsed in court on May 24. Despite a court order to move him to a hospital, he remains in Kuje prison, where medical facilities are inadequate. Gambaryan was invited to Nigeria to resolve a dispute with Binance but was detained after a meeting with government officials. His wife, Yuki Gambaryan, has expressed devastation over his treatment and is appealing for intervention to ensure he receives proper medical care and is allowed to return home. The court hearings for his charges are scheduled for June 14 and June 20.
