However, Nigeria has been in the spotlight for its regulatory stance on cryptocurrency, including actions involving exchanges like Binance. For the latest updates, I recommend checking reputable news sources or Binance's official announcements.

The Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) on Thursday confirmed that the crypto exchange platform, Binance, is being investigated by Nigerian authorities.

In its first official confirmation of the clampdown efforts on the activities of Binance and other crypto platforms, a top official of the ONSA confirmed to PREMIUM TIMES that the security adviser’s office is coordinating an interagency investigation into the operations of Binance.

“I am confirming that the office of the national security adviser, as part of ongoing operations in the foreign exchange market with the CBN and other law enforcement and security agencies, is coordinating an interagency investigation into the operations of Binance,” Zakari Mijinyawa, Head of Strategic Communication at the Office of the National Security Adviser, told PREMIUM TIMES after multiple requests for comment Thursday.
