The Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) has initiated a global manhunt for Mr. Nadeem Anjarwalla, an executive manager of Binance for the African region, who escaped from custody.
Following his escape, ONSA has called on the public and international community to provide information aiding law enforcement agencies in his re-arrest.
Mr. Anjarwalla, facing charges related to money laundering and terrorism financing, fled while under a court-ordered remand.
His escape raises concerns about the integrity of legal proceedings and underscores the challenges in combating financial crimes within the cryptocurrency sector. Nigerian authorities, in collaboration with Interpol, are actively pursuing leads to locate and apprehend the fugitive.
This high-profile case underscores the complexities of regulating digital assets and the imperative of international cooperation in combating financial illicit activities.
