April 30, (THEWILL) – The extradition of the fleeing Binance Regional Manager for Africa, Nadeem Anjarwalla, to Nigeria is currently ongoing, the International Criminal Police Organisation (INTERPOL), said on Tuesday.
The Vice President of INTERPOL (Africa) Executive Committee, Garba Umar disclosed while speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme.
THEWILL had reported that Anjarwalla escaped on Friday, March 22, from the Abuja guest house where he and his colleague, Tigran Gambaryan, a US citizen overseeing financial crime compliance at the crypto exchange platform were detained after guards on duty led him to a nearby mosque for prayers in the spirit of the ongoing Ramadan fast.
According to Kenyan Police Service, the 38-year-old British-Kenyan dual national was re-arrested on April 21, in the East African country.
Speaking on the development on Tuesday, Umar assured the paperwork for Anjarwalla to be returned to Nigeria has commenced.
“If a fugitive escapes, there are processes in which that country will follow, INTERPOL will only give information, assist them and inform them about the bilateral agreements and conventions that were signed to extradite a fleeing fugitive and the process is ongoing and Nadeem is not an exception.
“Be rest assured, we have all the cooperation and we are working on it and definitely, one day, he will be brought to justice, it’s just a matter of time. We have done all the paperwork”, he said.
