The Nigerian Federal Government has reportedly traced the Binance executive who escaped from custody in March to Kenya. According to local reports, the Nigerian authorities have started the extradition process and are questioning the guards who were responsible for the executive's custody.

The executive, Nadeem Anjarwalla, was discovered to be in Kenya over the weekend, following his escape from Nigerian custody. The investigation revealed his hiding spot, and sources within the presidency's office confirmed to the local newspaper, PUNCH, that Anjarwalla went into hiding immediately after arriving in the country.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Chair, Ola Olukoyede, confirmed that the commission was working with INTERPOL, the FBI, the governments of the United Kingdom, Northern Ireland, and Kenya to extradite Anjarwalla. The EFCC's involvement in the extradition process is a clear message of their commitment to addressing distortions and disruptions in Nigeria's forex market.

Anjarwalla, who holds dual British and Kenyan citizenship, escaped from Nigerian custody on March 22. He was detained along with Tigran Gambaryan as part of Nigeria's crackdown on Binance over tax evasion. Anjarwalla reportedly used his phone privileges to scheme his escape from Abuja and flew out of Nigeria on a Middle Eastern airline after being taken to a nearby mosque to practice his faith.

The guards responsible for monitoring Anjarwalla have been detained and are being questioned by special investigators from the military. The investigation is being treated as a matter of national security, and all hands are on deck to ensure Anjarwalla's return to Nigeria to face the charges brought against him.

Meanwhile, Gambaryan remains in EFCC's custody and is awaiting his trial this Friday, April 19, after being postponed following his first court appearance. Further details of the logistics of Anjarwalla's escape and his hiding remain unknown to the public.
