Two top Binance officials held by the Nigerian government for consultations have filed a lawsuit against two government bodies for allegedly violating their human rights.

The two Binance executives, Tigran Gambaryan and Nadeem Anjarwalla, have been in Nigeria since February and have taken legal action against the National Security Adviser and the Economic Financial Crimes Commission for breaching their fundamental human rights, according to local reports.

According to the report, the two executives have requested the Federal High Court in Abuja to order the agencies to release them, return their passports, and issue a public apology. The executives were charged with tax evasion upon their arrival in Nigeria after being invited for discussions related to the company.

Anjarwalla reportedly escaped from detention last week and Nigerian authorities have accused Binance of facilitating the untraceable movement of billions of naira, which has led to instability in the currency exchange rate.

During a recent court hearing, the agencies accused were not present, and the case has been adjourned until April 8.
