Fleeing Binance executive, Nadeem Anjarwalla was arrested in Kenya with plans to extradite him to Nigeria. Nadeem Anjarwalla is in the middle of a legal battle with the Nigerian government after he was detained alongside fellow Binance executive, Tigran Gambaryan.&nbsp;
Both men flew into Nigeria to discuss with authorities on developing issues on Binance P2P offering and the local currency. Nigerian authorities claimed the <a href="https://coingape.com/binance-tax-case-hearing-pushed-to-mid-may-in-nigeria/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Binance</a> facilitated the exchange of funds acting as a medium of exchange.&nbsp;
The National Security Adviser’s Office detained Nadeem Anjarwalla and his colleague, opening up months of legal drama surrounding all parties.&nbsp;
