According to sources cited by Premiumtimes, Anjarwalla, aged 38, made his daring escape from a guest house in Abuja, where he and his colleague were being held following their arrest on charges of alleged tax evasion and other offenses. The escape allegedly occurred during a visit to a local mosque for Ramadan prayers, highlighting a lapse in security measures.

Despite the authorities’ efforts to contain the situation, Anjarwalla, a British national also holding Kenyan citizenship, purportedly departed from Abuja aboard a Middle Eastern-bound aircraft, leaving behind a trail of unanswered questions and mounting speculation.

The circumstances surrounding Anjarwalla’s escape have raised serious concerns, particularly regarding how he managed to bypass security protocols and board an international flight, considering that his British passport, the primary travel document, remained in Nigerian custody.

Officials are scrambling to ascertain Anjarwalla’s intended destination and to devise strategies for his apprehension and return to custody. Investigations are underway to uncover the details of his escape, including the acquisition of a Kenyan passport allegedly used for his departure.

Sources reveal that Anjarwalla and his colleague enjoyed a level of freedom during their confinement, including access to cellphones, which may have facilitated the escape plan. The revelation has prompted scrutiny of the security arrangements and protocols governing the detention facility.

In response to inquiries about the incident, Zakari Mijinyawa, Head of Strategic Communication at the Office of the National Security Adviser, pledged to conduct a thorough investigation. However, no official statement has been issued as of the time of this report.

The escape of Nadeem Anjarwalla, Binance’s Africa regional manager, and his colleague Tigran Gambaryan, a US citizen overseeing financial crime compliance, has added a new layer of complexity to their ongoing legal saga, underscoring the challenges faced by authorities in maintaining custody and ensuring justice in high-profile cases.
