Detained Binance Head Faces Critical Health Issues, Wife Claims

Yuki Gambaryan, the wife of detained Binance executive Tigran Gambaryan, has appealed to the Federal Government for her husband’s release on humanitarian grounds due to severe health issues. Gambaryan and his associate, Nadeem Anjarwalla, were arrested in February for allegedly exploiting the Nigerian currency through their cryptocurrency platform…… CONTINUE READING

The Federal Government has stated that Binance was not registered in Nigeria, has never paid taxes, and has operated without regulatory oversight. Yuki Gambaryan, in a statement released by Binance’s spokesperson Monique Thompson, revealed that her husband is suffering from a herniated disc requiring “highly specialized and risky surgery.”

Gambaryan’s condition worsened after he collapsed in court on May 23, 2024. Despite legal requests, his medical care and records have reportedly been withheld. Concerns about his health led his legal team to warn that his life is at risk if he remains in Kuje Prison without proper medical attention.

On July 16, Judge Emeke Nwite ordered Gambaryan’s transfer to Nizamiye Hospital for medical care under strict security. However, since July 26, Yuki claims that Gambaryan’s legal team has been denied access to him, which she argues violates Nigerian constitutional and prison regulations.

Yuki described the emotional toll on their family, saying, “My once fit and healthy husband is now wheelchair-bound due to a treatable condition that has not been properly addressed.” She also noted that Gambaryan requires surgery to remove his tonsils due to recurring infections.

The case has drawn international attention, with American lawmakers urging the U.S. government to declare Gambaryan “wrongfully detained.” Binance, with a reported turnover of over $20 billion in Nigeria in 2023, has been linked to currency speculation and the cost-of-living crisis.

The Federal Government has reiterated its commitment to providing Gambaryan with necessary medical care and maintaining legal protocols. Minister of Information Mohammed Idris affirmed that Gambaryan receives medical attention and consular services from his home government.
