The Nigerian Correctional Service has come under fire for allegedly failing to produce Tigran Gambaryan, a detained Binance executive, for a scheduled court hearing on May 22. Moses Idehu, representing the Nigerian revenue collection agency, requested the court to postpone proceedings to investigate the reasons behind Gambaryan's absence.

Gambaryan's presence is crucial to Nigeria's tax evasion case against Binance. The failure of prison officials to bring him to court occurred shortly after a Nigerian court denied Gambaryan's bail application and affirmed his eligibility to represent Binance in the tax evasion case.

Reportedly, Gambaryan was slated to appear in court on May 22, but his absence prevented him and Binance from entering their pleas. As a result, Idehu urged the court to adjourn the proceedings to ascertain why Gambaryan wasn't present.

In response, T.J. Krukrubo, representing Binance, objected to the NCS's failure to produce Gambaryan. Chukwuka Ikwuazo, Gambaryan's legal representative, requested the court to remove Nadeem Anjarwalla's name from the amended charge sheet.

Agreeing with Ikwuazo's argument, the FIRS and both legal teams consented to postpone the case until June 14.
