    <p>A Binance executive detained in Nigeria and accused of tax evasion offenses has fled the country, according to local media.</p> 
    <p>Nadeem Anjarwalla was detained with fellow Binance exec Tigran Gambaryan late last month shortly after Nigeria&nbsp;banned several crypto exchanges from operating in the country. It was announced today that the pair, along with Binance itself, were officially accused of four tax offenses by Nigeria’s Federal Inland Revenue Service.</p> 
    <p>The charges filed in the Abuja Federal High Court last Friday claim the defendants <strong>failed to submit tax returns</strong>, were complicit in helping users evade taxes while using the <a rel="dofollow" title="Binance" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/binance.html">Binance</a> platform, and failed to pay value-added tax (VAT) and company income tax.&nbsp;</p> 
    <p>“<a rel="dofollow" title="Binance" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/binance.html">Binance</a> did not adhere to these requirements, thus violating <a rel="dofollow" title="Nigeria" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/nigeria.html">Nigeria</a>n <a rel="dofollow" title="Law" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/law.html">Law</a>s and potentially facing investigation and legal action for this infraction,” a statement from the state tax agency said.</p>

    <p>According to local media reports, Anjarwalla fled the country last Friday using a <a rel="dofollow" title="Nigeria" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/nigeria.html">Nigeria</a>n passport. He apparently escaped the guest house in which the pair were staying after being led to a <a rel="dofollow" title="mosque" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/mosque.html">mosque</a> to pray.&nbsp;</p> 
    <p>Authorities are reportedly trying to determine the destination of his flight and where he supposedly acquired the <a rel="dofollow" title="Nigeria" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/nigeria.html">Nigeria</a>n passport after his <strong>British passport was previously confiscated</strong>.</p>
