Imagine waking up one day and scrolling through your Netflix feed and you find a comedy series entitled ‘Nigeria’.
As funny as it may sound, this is what many people think of the recent happenings in the West African giant’s territory.
With the many adventurous events in Nigeria, many believe that such a series if released, would be a great content.
This suggestion was one of the diverse reactions Nigerians expressed after the escape of a key Binance executive from the custody of the Nigerian Government.
In what Nigerians refer to as ‘Koro-koro’, the man said to have left for Kenya.
Court Order
The drama started with the detention of two Binance executives, Nadeem Anjarwalla and Tigran Gambaryan.
They were initially detained upon their arrival in Nigeria on February 26, 2024, on allegations of tax evasion and other charges.
Following Binance’s non-compliance with a court order demanding data on Nigerian traders, the duo’s detention was extended to prevent evidence tampering.
However, Anjarwalla managed to flee on Friday, March 22, from a guest house in Abuja where he and a colleague were being held.
Ramadan Prayer
It was learned that the escape occurred when guards allowed him to visit a nearby mosque for Ramadan prayers.
The dual British-Kenyan citizen is believed to have left Abuja aboard a Middle Eastern airline.
This has raised questions about his departure despite Nigerian authorities holding his British passport.
The development has sparked numerous reactions from netizen.
They have taken to social media to express their views regarding the escape of the Binance executive from the federal government’s custody.
See some of the reactions below.
@Ikay_CFC: “Someone you escorted to pray in a nearby mosque got to the airport and boarded a plane with a Kenyan passport and nobody knew? Oya tell us something else.”
@the_Lawrenz: “If they explain Nigeria to. You and you understand it means you didn’t understand at all.”
@Oserume1: “The Nigerian Government released the Binance Executive as part of the bargain to get the information Nigeria Government needs from Binance.
“This APC Government is full of unintelligent lies and propaganda.
Remember how Buhari’s Government released Boko Haram members from Kuje prison under the disguise of a prison break? APC na scam!”.
