<p style="text-align: justify">Nigerian authorities are trying to determine the whereabouts of the Binance executive to re-arrest him. An Immigration Office official stated that the Binance executive escaped from Nigeria using a Kenyan passport.</p> 
<p style="text-align: justify">Considering that no other travel document was found on him at the time of arrest, apart from the British passport, officials are trying to figure out how he obtained the passport. Another official mentioned that even while in detention, the two executives were granted privileges such as unlimited access to a phone. It is suspected that Anjarwalla took advantage of this opportunity to plan his escape.</p>
