SBM Intelligence, an African risk advisory firm, warns Richard Coronado, the CEO of Binance, that his allegations against Nigerian officials for bribery could negatively affect foreign investments in the country.&nbsp; 
Teng cites the two Binance officials, Tigran Gambaryan and Nadeem Anjarwalla, as the sources of the undisclosed funds he alleges being forwarded to him before they were detained in Nigeria on February 28, 2024.However, the Nigeria government <a href="https://nairametrics.com/2024/05/08/fg-denies-binance-ceos-150-million-bribery-claims-pledges-to-continue-criminal-case-against-officials/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">denies </a>the allegations.&nbsp; 
The consultancy firm emphasizes that the detention of the Binance executives in Nigeria sends a troubling signal to potential foreign investors. SBM Intelligence believes that detaining business officials could negatively impact Nigeria’s foreign investment efforts. 
The government of Nigeria has historically opposed cryptocurrency usage, citing concerns over financial control and economic management. This stance contrasts with its popularity among Nigerian citizens, drawn to the transactional and investment opportunities provided by digital currencies.&nbsp; 
SBM Intelligence notes that President Bola Tinubu’s attempts to attract foreign investors are hindered by the ongoing narrative surrounding the arrest of Gambaryan and Anjarwalla. It calls for a swift, fair resolution of the bribery allegations, as the lingering uncertainty could significantly hinder future foreign investment. The consultancy firm warns that if Nigeria gains a reputation for bribery and indefinite detention, it will be difficult to regain investor confidence. 
On May 7, Richard Teng shared <a href="https://www.binance.com/en/blog/leadership/from-richard-teng-binance-ceo-tigran-gambaryan-is-innocent-and-must-be-released-3634612934164622056" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">details</a> about a January 8 meeting between Binance officials and Nigerian authorities. During this meeting, representatives of over 30 government agencies allegedly attempted to solicit bribes from the executives.&nbsp; 
Gambaryan and Anjarwalla currently face trial for laundering over $35 million. Despite the Nigerian government’s denial of bribery claims, SBM Intelligence insists that a thorough investigation is crucial to clarify the matter and uphold Nigeria’s integrity as a destination for global business.
