BREAKING: NSA Confirms Escape Of Binance Executive Anjarwalla, Says Officials Responsible For Custody Arrested

Anjarwalla

The escape of Binance’s regional manager for Africa, Nadeem Anjarwalla, has been verified by the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA).

A statement by Zakari Mijinyawa, head of strategic communication at ONSA, said “Preliminary investigation shows that Mr. Anjarwalla fled Nigeria using a smuggled passport”.

“The personnel responsible for the custody of the suspect have been arrested, and a thorough investigation is ongoing to unravel the circumstances that led to his escape from lawful detention,” the statement reads.

On Monday, a report by Premium Times said the Binance executive escaped from the Abuja guest house where he and his colleague were detained, on March 22.

Anjarwalla was said to have escaped after guards on duty led him to a nearby mosque for prayers in the spirit of the ongoing Ramadan fast.

He is believed to have flown out of Abuja using a Middle Eastern airliner — but how he got on an international flight despite his British passport, was unknown.
