Nadeem Anjarwalla, a well-known personality in the cryptocurrency space and an executive at Binance, finds himself mired in a legal maze in Nigeria even after their arrest order has expired. Detention orders are usually issued for a set amount of time, after which the authorities must apply for extensions. If this isn't done, the detention is illegal. A 14-day detention order was issued in this instance by the Abuja court, and it expires on March 12.

Nadeem Anjarwalla and Tigran Gambaryan, two additional executives of Binance, are still being held in Nigeria despite the delay. Following talks with government representatives, both executives—who had come to Nigeria at the government's invitation—were taken into custody. Their incarceration is within the jurisdiction of the Nigerian Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Families’ Anguish Over Unanswered Pleas for Release The families of Nadeem Anjarwalla and Tigran Gambaryan express mounting anguish as their pleas for the release of the detained executives remain unanswered. Despite reaching out to diplomatic missions and government agencies, their efforts have yielded no tangible results. Elahe Anjarwalla, Nadeem’s wife, voices grave concerns over his well-being, citing limited access to medical care and legal counsel.

She bemoans the psychological cost of Nadeem's absence, especially because they will not be together for their son's first birthday on March 21. The families highlight Nadeem's and Tigran's responsibilities within Binance, claiming that they are just responsible for carrying out their bosses' orders and do not have the power to make important decisions. The families beg Kenyan and British governments to step in and hasten the executives' return home, urging Nigerian authorities to give their release top priority.
