The Nigerian government has replied to the corruption allegations levelled against its senior officials by Binance’s head of financial crime, Tigran Gambaryan.
The Minister of Information, Mohammed Idris, in a statement on Friday, Feb. 14, said Mr. Gambaryan’s “allegations are not only unsubstantiated but also lack credibility, given his apparent motive to discredit and intimidate those who ensured he faced justice.”
“We categorically deny the retaliatory claims made by Mr. Gambaryan against Nigerian officials involved in his case, and we urge the public to disregard these false accusations in their entirety,” Mr. Idris added.
He further stated that the Nigerian government is reluctant to engage Mr. Gambaryan given the high-level of diplomatic intervention that resolved his case.
“… We are confident that both the Nigerian and American judicial systems will provide Mr. Gambaryan with a fair opportunity to substantiate his claims in court. Until then, we advise the public to exercise caution and not be swayed by Mr. Gambaryan’s unfounded and malicious claims,” Mr. Idris concluded in a lengthy statement.
